Apoptosis

The video tutorial discusses apoptosis, a process for disposing of damaged or unwanted cells. It highlights apoptosis's role in embryonic development, where it helps remove cells to form gaps between developing digits on limbs.

What is the primary function of apoptosis in the body?

• To repair DNA

• To promote cell growth

• To remove damaged or unnecessary cells

• To increase cell division

What happens to unwanted cells during apoptosis?

• They are repaired

• They are transformed

• They are divided

• They are removed

How does apoptosis contribute to embryonic development?

• By increasing the number of cells

• By repairing damaged tissues

• By removing cells to shape the body

• By promoting cell differentiation

In what way does apoptosis assist in the formation of limbs?

• By strengthening the bone structure

• By increasing muscle mass

• By creating gaps between developing digits

• By elongating the limbs

Which of the following is NOT a role of apoptosis?

• Creating gaps between digits

• Shaping the body during development

• Repairing damaged DNA

• Removing unneeded cells
