Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a crucial process for removing unwanted or damaged cells and plays a significant role in embryonic development. It helps in creating space between developing fingers at the end of limbs by removing unnecessary cells.

What is the primary purpose of removing unwanted or damaged cells?

• To increase cell growth

• To maintain healthy tissues

• To promote cell mutation

• To enhance cell division

How does apoptosis contribute to embryonic development?

• By enhancing tissue growth

• By removing unwanted cells

• By increasing cell division

• By promoting cell mutation

Which process is responsible for removing unnecessary cells during development?

• Mitosis

• Apoptosis

• Meiosis

• Cell fusion

What is the role of apoptosis in the development of limbs?

• It increases the number of cells

• It enhances muscle growth

• It strengthens the bones

• It creates space between developing fingers

What happens to the space between developing fingers due to apoptosis?

• It becomes filled with new cells

• It remains unchanged

• It is reduced

• It is created
