This phase is a resting phase for cells.
Apoptosis/ Control Cell: Programmed Cell Death (A cell can only be copied around 50 times, after this many times of copying, the DNA in the cell becomes old and cannot be used so the cell will self destruct)
Differentiation: Where cells become specialised for their function. (Unspecialised cells do not have a specific function.)
Senescence: Where cells grow old (Refer back to the brackets of apoptosis for explanation)
Some cells may not have this phase at all (Eg, epithelial cells in the gut lining).
Some cells remain in this phase for a long amount of time. (Eg, neurons)
The difference in how long certain types of cells stay in this phase depends on how many subcellular structures need to be copied.
