Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question asking which of the following statements correctly describes apoptosis. A. It causes several mutations in the DNA sequence. Be it participates in the transcription process. See it is used to eliminate unwanted sales and D it provides the enzymes needed for the mid topic division to proceed. So what is a popped Oh, sis It is the process of cell death. And why would we need this? Why would we need a cell to die? We would need it to eliminate unwanted cells. So our answer is c. It is used to eliminate unwanted cells. Thank you for watching. Bye!
