Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance between proapoptotic (death-inducing) and antiapoptotic (survival-promoting) signals plays a major role in determining whether a cell lives or dies after a particular event. Mitotic and cytokinetic signals are important for cell division, but not necessarily for cell survival or death. The differences and similarities between signals are not as relevant as the balance between proapoptotic and antiapoptotic signals. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
