Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mature human neuron (nerve) cells and muscle cells are permanently in a state of nondivision, which means they cannot divide further. This is because they have exited the cell cycle and entered a phase called G0, where they have stopped dividing and are in a quiescent state. Therefore, they cannot become cancerous or continue to divide throughout their lifetime.
