Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If upregulation of the antiapoptotic proteins is halted or disrupted, then the proapoptotic proteins can trigger apoptosis. Targeting primed cells with an inhibitor of antiapoptotic proteins could result in apoptosis and the death of the tumor cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is (C) The cell swells. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sudden removal of the survival signals or disassociation from neighboring cells will cause a cell to initiate apoptosis. Moreover, increased cellular stress such as exposure to high heat conditions, DNA damage caused by irradiation/chemotherapy or pathogenic infection can also lead to cell death by apoptosis.
