Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a controlled series of steps that lead to cell death. It involves activation of cellular signaling pathways that result in the condensation and fragmentation of the cell's DNA, followed by cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, and packaging of the cell into small membrane-bound vesicles called apoptotic bodies. These apoptotic bodies are then recognized and engulfed by neighboring cells or phagocytes, preventing inflammation and tissue damage.

In which phase of the cell cycle does the nucleus divide through a series of steps?
M phase of the cell cycle
What is cell injury and cell death?
Series of pathologic changes due to excessive stress when adaptations are not possible.
What is the definition of apoptosis?
noun: apoptosisThe death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.
What cell cell process is controlled by the nuclus?
Protein Synthesis
What is the term for cell suicide or programed cell death?
Enzymes called caspases aid in programmed cell death, known as apoptosis. Apoptosis occurs when a cell is at the end of its normal reproductive life or when it has been damaged. At this time, the cell receives information that initiates a series of events that lead to its own destruction. After apoptosis, white blood cells engulf the degraded cell fragments.
What problem can develop if the cell is not controlled?
It may lead to the cell's death and may form diseases.
What problems can develop if the cell cycle is not controlled?
It may lead to the cell's death and may form diseases.
In which phase of the cell cycle does the nucleus divide through a series of steps?
M phase of the cell cycle
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 is controlled by genes?
Lots of things in every cell, like production of proteins, cell dividing, growth, death and its function.
What is cell injury and cell death?
Series of pathologic changes due to excessive stress when adaptations are not possible.
What is the definition of apoptosis?
noun: apoptosisThe death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.
What is mitosis mainly about?
mitosis has a series of steps and it a part of the cell cycle, but the main purpose is to make new cells
Does The p53 gene codes for a protein that triggers uncontrolled cell division?
No, when it detects a mutation or damage to the DNA of a cell it codes for a protein that causes apoptosis to occur which is the controlled death of a cell. so it prevents uncontrolled cell division.
What is cellular damage?
Damage at the cellular level - such as damage to mitochondria or enzymes, damage to the DNA or damage to the cell membrane. If the damage is serious enough, this will lead to either apoptosis (programmed, controlled cell-death), or necrosis (spontaneous, unplanned death).
What are all cell processes controlled by?
They are all controlled by the nucleus which is somewhat the "brain" of the cell. Hope this helps :)
Which cell is controlled by the production of protein?
T Cell
