What is decreased apoptosis?
Apoptosis is programmed cell death. Decreased apoptosis would be a lower level of programmed cell death.
Explain how apoptosis can prevent abnormal cells from becoming tumors?
Apoptosis might be seen as part of the body's overseeing/managing/protecting mechanism. Apoptosis is associated with cell death; a programmed cell death, where "abnormal" cells, which either cannot function properly (aged, injured, etc), or are potential threat to the organism (infected, mutated), have to die. By activating apoptosis of those cells, the body stops their proliferation. If this mechanism gets impaired (for example tumour suppressor genes, like p53, cannot promote apoptosis), the uncontrolled proliferation of the abnormal cells could lead to malignancy.
Contrast apoptosis and cancer?
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death.
What is the difference between PCD and Apoptosis?
Apoptosis is a form of PCD. It is characterised by morphological and biochemical changes. These include cell condensation and fragmentation, and cleavage of DNA at particular sites. Blebbing is also observed in the plasma membrane during apoptosis.
The main proteases involved in apoptosis are?
caspases
What is decreased apoptosis?
Apoptosis is programmed cell death. Decreased apoptosis would be a lower level of programmed cell death.
Whether chemotherapy causes cell death by degeneration or apoptosis?
apoptosis
What do polar bodies use to self destruct in meiosis?
Apoptosis.

During apoptosis do a cell turn black?
During apoptosis do a cell turn black?
Apoptosis is tissue growth through cell multiplication?
No Apoptosis is the timed death of a cell
What does the cell proceed to do once apoptosis is triggered?
after apoptosis is triggered the cell procedes to die
What might happen if apoptosis did not occur in cells that have significant DNA damage?
Most likely cancer would arise if apoptosis did not occur in cells that have significant DNA damage.
How would the pattern of apoptosis differ in a duck's webbed foot compared to the pattern of apoptosis in a mouse foot?
during apoptosis a cell goes throug a series of steps that lead to its death
What actors and actresses appeared in Apoptosis - 2012?
The cast of Apoptosis - 2012 includes: Kilroy Nubbins as Man
Contrast apoptosis and cancer?
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death.
Is apoptosis a feature of malignant cells?
No, that's the opposite, most malignant cells have lost their ability to undergo apoptosis.
