Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a cell experiences irreparable damage to its DNA, it can activate programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. This mechanism allows the body to eliminate damaged or potentially harmful cells before they can replicate and cause further damage or mutations. Mitosis and cell division may occur normally in healthy cells, but they would not be the appropriate responses to irreversible DNA damage. Meiosis is a type of cell division that only occurs in certain cells during sexual reproduction and is not relevant in this context.
