Question

Some scientists name the stage where cells carry out their normal functions but are unlikely to divide. the name they give this stage is ______________

Answer 1

The name that they give to this phase is G0. Some cells once they are produced, they immediately start preparing for another cycle of cell division. However, there cells that have slower cell cycles (divide more slowly) or they do not divide at all. These cells are most of the time in the resting phase, called G0, where they are not preparing for division, they just do their duties. Some cells are permanently in this phase, while others just wait for a signal to start their division.

Answer 2

The scientist name the process G0. G0 is a process where cells are unlikely to divide, but still carry out their normal functions. Scientists couldn't see anything happening during other parts of interphase, so they named the periods between mitosis and synthesis Gap 1 and 2.
