|
|
The cell dies, it is lysed, its organelles are phagocytized, its contents are recycled.
|
|
|
Its DNA and organelles are fragmented, the cell shrinks and forms blebs, and the cell self-digests.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Apoptosis describes the orchestrated collapse of a cell characterised by membrane blebbing, cell shrinkage, condensation of chromatin, and fragmentation of DNA followed by rapid engulfment of the corpse by neighbouring cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four major events that occurs during apoptosis, namely DNA degradation, protein degradation, cytomorphological changes and formation of apoptotic bodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are 4 stages of apoptosis: the initiation or stimulus for cell death, the active programmed cell death when the events become irreversible, phagocytosis of the dead cellular material, and inhibitory mechanisms of apoptosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Apoptosis is a process. And this is true, too. Apoptosis allows cells to be marked for death and thus the cell can get rid of it.
