Which of the following statements is false about apoptosis? 
Select and explain. 
A. No inflammation, B. Intact plasma membrane, C. Swelling of organelles, D. Affected by dedicated genes
C: Swelling of organelles
Answer: C: Swelling of organelles 
Explanation: Apoptosis is genetically regulated, hence apoptosis is sometimes referred to as programmed cell death. Plasma membrane remains intact in apoptosis hence there is no leakage of enzymes and inflammation. Apoptosis cause activation of caspase and proteases which cause cells to shrink. Hence organelle swelling is not a feature of apoptosis. Characteristic feature of apoptosis microscopically is chromatin condensation.
