Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve cells, also known as neurons, are post-mitotic cells, which means they have permanently exited the cell cycle and are not able to divide through mitosis. Instead, they remain in the G0 phase of the cell cycle, which is a quiescent (non-dividing) state. Therefore, the best choice is A, G0. The other answer choices are not applicable to nerve cells.
