Members do not see this ad. So EK says that mature neurons and muscle cells remain in G0 permanently. I get that, and I think that's what I was taught in undergrad bio. This TBR passage (6.13), however, says that nerve cells and skeleton muscle cells remain in G1. Which is it? Sort by date Sort by votes

yeah I noticed that! I think it's still G0, if they directly asked and had G0 as an option EDIT: with that said, I don't know how you can distinguish between the two exactly, since G1's duration varies greatly also, so maybe it would be better to say they are arrested at G0/G1 instead.

I'm too lazy to go back and look at the question again, but I think it said something like "Which of the following stays in G1 phase?" The choices were kidney epithelial cells, neurons, and skeletal muscle cells. When I was doing the passage, I interpreted the question to mean "Which of the following does not go into G0 phase." Obviously neurons and skeletal muscle cells don't grow or replicate once they are mature, so I picked epithelial cells only. Based on the answer and answer explanation, however, it's now obvious that the question was asking "Which of the following do not continue from G1 to S phase?" I hope the MCAT isn't as ambiguous about G1/G0... Upvote 0 Downvote

Yea it's kind of unfair, but whatever lol. Usually on those types of questions - the ones with answers like I only, I and II only, II only, I and III only, etc - you can figure out exactly what the question is asking even if it's not very clear. But in this case, there were answers for both interpretations of the question 🙁 Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here.
