Question

question 8
apoptosis is ...
o a disorder in humans that results in abnormal growth of cells.
o a disorder in rats that causes their cells to pop under certain environmental conditions.
o a process whereby cells are triggered to go through cellular division.
o pre - programmed cell death.
o pre - programmed cell death of new healthly cells.

Explanation:

Apoptosis is a biological process. It is not a disorder (eliminating the first two options). Cellular division is mitosis/meiosis, not apoptosis (eliminating the third option). Apoptosis is pre - programmed cell death. New healthy cells are not specifically targeted in the general definition of apoptosis (eliminating the last option).

Answer:

pre - programmed cell death.
