What is apoptosis??

• Apoptosis is a morphological term

• Apoptosis and programmed cell death frequently are used interchangeably

• Apoptotic death is characterized by:nuclear condensationmembrane blebbingphosphotidylserine flippingDNA degradation into nucleosomal fragmentsnew gene synthesis in some instances
