During G0 phase cells withdraw from the cell cycle and are dormant and do not grow or divide.

The G0 phase (G sub 0) is a period in the cell cycle where cells exist in a quiescent (dormant) state. During the G0 phase, the cell cycle machinery is dismantled and cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases disappear. Cells then remain in the G0 phase until there is a reason for them to divide.

In G0 cells are unlikely to divide, although they carry out their normal functions. Neurons stay permanently in the g0 stage.

The cells in the G0 phase still go through all of the normal processes. The only difference is that it does not grow and divide.
