Summary Introduction
To identify:
The cellular mechanism behind certain daughter cells not producing more cells in the C. elegans fate map.
Introduction:
Apoptosis is generally called as programmed cell death. It is a very necessary part of development. It kills the cells which are of no use (old or damaged) to the body or are harmful (cancerous) in the body. It also keeps the number of cells in check.
