Question
Chapter 24, Problem 8PDQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The meaning of apoptosis and the conditions that promote the occurrence of this condition in cells.
Introduction: The normal cells in the body have a limited life span, and after the death, these cells need to be removed from the body for allowing the new cells to take their place and develop. Then the human body has two different methods for removing the dead cells, namely apoptosis and necrosis.
