Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve cells have exited the cell cycle and have entered G₀ phase, which is a resting phase where they no longer divide. This is a characteristic of most differentiated cells, including nerve cells. They remain in this phase unless triggered by specific signals to re-enter the cell cycle to repair damage or replace lost cells. Nerve cells do not undergo meiosis as they are not reproductive cells.
