Nerve and muscle cells are in this phase:
Correct answer: A. G0
- A. G0
- B. G1
- C. S
- D. G2
Explanation
Nerve and muscle cells are typically in the G0 phase of the cell cycle. The G0 phase is a resting phase where cells exit the active cell cycle and temporarily or permanently cease dividing. Nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells (muscle fibers) are both examples of cells that are specialized for their functions and have largely exited the cell cycle. They remain in the G0 phase for most of their lifespan, only re-entering the cell cycle under certain conditions, such as injury or tissue regeneration.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
