the only function of apoptosis is to destroy healthy cells when they become damaged or infected.
a) true
b) false

Explanation:

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, has multiple functions. It is crucial for development (e.g., shaping body structures during embryogenesis), maintaining tissue homeostasis (removing old or unneeded cells), and immune responses (eliminating virus - infected or cancerous cells). So, it is not only about destroying damaged or infected cells.

Answer:

b) False
