Genes that trigger cell death do so by
A) stimulating sonic hedgehog.
B) activating caspases.
C) producing NGF.
D) inhibiting caspases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The activation of caspases is a known mechanism for triggering cell death, also known as apoptosis. Choice A, stimulating sonic hedgehog, is not directly related to apoptosis. Choice C, producing NGF (nerve growth factor), promotes cell survival rather than cell death. Choice D, inhibiting caspases, would have the opposite effect of triggering cell death.
