Question

Apoptosis can be induced in a plant organ or the whole plant by a burst of?

• A. decay of DNA, RNA
• B. Ethylene
• C. Cytokinin's
• D. Auxin

Answer 1

The correct option is A decay of DNA, RNA

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes (morphology) and death. These changes include blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, chromosomal DNA fragmentation, and global mRNA decay. The average adult human loses between 50 and 70 billion cells each day due to apoptosis.

So, the correct option is 'decay of DNA, RNA'.
