Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During apoptosis, the cell loses its ability to adhere to neighboring cells, which ultimately leads to the fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies that are engulfed and cleared away by phagocytic cells. Chromosomes condense and break apart, and the cytoskeleton breaks down, leading to the formation of apoptotic bodies. Mitochondria also undergo changes, including the release of apoptotic factors that contribute to the activation of apoptosis.
