Summary Introduction
To explain: The definition of induction and apoptosis and give examples of the role they play in the development.
Introduction: Caenorhabditis elegans is the model organism used to study various developmental processes. Apoptosis and induction are a type of developmental process in these organisms. The same type of activity is also observed in plant and animal cells as well.
