Question

The cell cycle has a regular system of checks and balances that prevents damaged or mutated cells from proceeding to the next phase. One way an organism deals with the problems is to kill the damaged cell before it passes on the problem to its daughter cells. This is a normal process called apoptosis.

a. True
b. Fale

Answer 1

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Apoptosis is a normal cellular process in which the cell inherently programs the death of a mutated or damaged cell without affecting the healthy condition of the other surrounding cells by proliferating.

Apoptosis is a system of checks and balances that the cell uses to prevent damaged or mutated cells from proceeding to the next phase in the cell cycle. This curbs or prevent the damaged cell from passing on the problem to its daughter cells. Hence, according to this question, it is TRUE.
