Question

Which of the following structural changes is not typically seen in a cell that is undergoing apoptosis? Choose one: A. The cytoskeleton collapses. B. The cell develops irregular bulges. C. The nuclear envelope disassembles. D. The cell swells.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Apoptosis is the process which leads to the death of the cell which is programmed and thus is known as the programmed cell death.

The death of a cell takes place when the cell experiences the lack of survival signals either due to the need to kill the cell or some genetic defects in DNA contained in cells.

The cell which undergoes apoptosis process can be easily marked by their shape as it gets shrunk, the cytoskeleton of the cell collapses, irregular bulges called blebs and the disassembly of the nuclear envelope.

Since the cell shrinks instead of swelling, therefore, option-D is the correct answer
