Apoptosis is best described as

  • A.programmed cell death carried out in an orderly way
  • B.cell death caused by injury or by a lack of oxygen
  • C.the failure of a cell to complete its division
  • D.the fusion of two separate cells into a single unit

Answer: A

The cell dismantles itself according to a genetic programme and is removed without disturbing its neighbours. Death by injury follows an entirely different and far messier course. The two are distinguished by how the cell dies, not by whether it dies.
