Cell in G0 phase :

(1) exit the cell cycle

(2) enter the cell cycle

(3) suspend the cell cycle

(4) terminate the cell cycle

by (10 points)
DO CHALLENGE THE QUESTION MORE AND MORE !
THE ANSWER SHOULD BE 'EXIT THE CELL CYCLE'
EXPLAINATION: in updated NCERT FIG 10.1 PAGE NO.163 G0 is clearly shown to be outside the cell cycle. Further there are 2 types of G0 cells- Reversible and Irreversible.
Reversible ones can continue the cell cycle but majority are irreversible which EXIT cell cycle permanently.

Correct option: (1) exit the cell cycle

Explanation: 

Cells in G0 phase are said to exit cell cycle. These are at quiescent stage and do not proliferate unless called upon to do so.

Why can't the answer be Suspend cell cycle. In the ncert it is mentioned that the cells exit G1 phase but no where it is mentioned that they exit cell cycle. More over the meaning of quiescent and suspend are same.

I know that in ncert they didn't mention that "cell exit cell cycle at G0 phase".But they have mentioned that the cell exit G1 phase which is itself a part of cell cycle. They are trying to says that after G1 phase cell don't prepare itself for cell division means no S phase (no synthesis of DNA and no cell division).It simply exit cell cycle.

The G0 phase of the cell cycle represents the cells that exit from the cell cycle, the causes for this situation may be natural behaviour of the cells as a result of reaching its limit in number of divisions ( Hayflick limits ) and become senescent cells, and may be the cause of this situation abnormal result from mutation in genes that control the cell division, some of the mutation that thought cause cancer and another may be cause quiescent cells.

The answer for this will be exit the cell cycle. Cells in Go phase exit out of the G1 phase to enter into the quiscent stage. Go is not the part of cell cycle. The cell cycle is itself G1-S-G2-M phase. The question is asked 10 years before and the ncert is updated now !

So it will be exit
