Solution(By Examveda Team)
In humans, apoptosis occurs except in cells damaged by injury.Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. It is used during early development to eliminate unwanted cells; for example, those between the fingers of a developing hand.
Apoptosis occurs normally during development and aging and as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain cell populations in tissues.
In adults, apoptosis is used to rid the body of cells that have been damaged beyond repair. Apoptosis also plays a role in preventing cancer.
