Cell death:
Correct answer: A. Necrosis
- A. Necrosis
- B. Klinefelter's syndrome
- C. Turner's syndrome
- D. Mitosis
Explanation
Necrosis is a form of cell death caused by external factors such as injury, infection, or toxins, leading to the premature death of cells. It is characterized by swelling, cellular organelle damage, and inflammation, often resulting in the breakdown of cell membranes and the release of cellular contents into the surrounding tissue. Necrosis contrasts with apoptosis, which is a programmed and controlled form of cell death.
