Q

Why does G0 occur due to Differentiation?

A

-A cell becomes specialised to carry out a particular function.
-This can make it unable to divide, it will carry out its function indefinitely.

Q

Why does G0 occur due to DNA becoming damaged?

A

-Cell Division is no longer viable. It enters a state of permanent cell arrest.
-Most cells will do this as they only divide a set number of times.
