Question

Keeping in mind the events of each part of the cell cycle, mark with a double arrow on Model 1

where those cells might (either temporarily or permanently) exit the cell cycle to G. Label this as
G. Why did you choose this location for Go? Hint: Think of a place in the cell cycle where the
cell is functioning normally, but not preparing to divide.

Answer 1

A designated location on a cell cycle model marked as G0 indicates that cells at that point are in a non-dividing, quiescent state.

This phase, G0, is characterized by cells exiting the active cell cycle temporarily or permanently, often due to completing specialized functions or receiving signals inducing cell cycle arrest.

Cells in G0 are not actively preparing for division and may remain in this resting state until triggered by specific signals to re-enter the cell cycle for functions like tissue repair or regeneration.
