Which of the following statements is incorrect about G_0 phase?

Which of the following statements is incorrect about G0\mathrm{G}_0 phase?

Options

  1. AMitosis occurs after G0G_0 phase.
  2. BBiocatalysts can be used to exit G0\mathrm{G}_0 phase.
  3. CCell volume keeps on increasing during this phase.
  4. DCell metabolism occurs continuously in G0\mathrm{G}_0 phase.

Correct answer

A. Mitosis occurs after G0G_0 phase.

Step-by-step solution

G0G_0 phase is the stage of inactivation of cell cycle due to non-availability of mitogens and energy rich compounds. The cells in this phase remain metabolically active and usually grow in size assuming particular shape (cell differentiation). Cell enters G0G_0 phase from a cell cycle checkpoint in the G1G_1 phase. G1G_1 phase checkpoint (restriction point) takes the key decision whether the cell should divide, delay division or enter resting stage. Cells then remain in G0G_0 phase until there is a reason for them to divide. Several biocatalysts can help a cell in G0\mathrm{G}_0 phase to proceed through cell division when required.
