Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell death, or apoptosis, actually begins during fetal development as a necessary process for the formation and shaping of body structures. It continues throughout life, with certain cells constantly being replaced and others only undergoing apoptosis in response to various signals and stressors. Age 50 or 60 would not be accurate starting points for when cell death first occurs, and puberty is also not a significant milestone in this regard.
