Understand the cell cycle: The cell cycle consists of several phases, including G1, S, G2, and M phases, which are involved in cell growth and division.
Identify the phase where cells exit the cycle: Cells that exit the cell cycle and do not actively prepare to divide are in a phase outside the typical cycle.
Learn about the G0 phase: The G0 phase is a resting state where cells have left the cycle and are not actively dividing. This can be a temporary or permanent state depending on the cell type.
Differentiate between G0 and other phases: Unlike G1, S, G2, and M phases, which are part of the active cell cycle, G0 is a non-dividing state.
Apply this knowledge to the problem: Recognize that when cells exit the cell cycle to develop a specific function, they are in the G0 phase.
