Cells that are infected, damaged, or have reached the end of their functional life span often undergo "programmed cell death." This controlled cell suicide is called apoptosis. Select the appropriate description of this event on a cell's life cycle.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

  1. Apoptosis is regulated by cell surface receptors that signal when a cell has reached its density-dependent limits.

  2. During apoptosis, dying cells leak out their contents, including digestive enzymes that also destroy healthy cells.

  3. During apoptosis, cellular agents chop up the DNA and fragment the organelles and other cytoplasmic components of a cell.

  4. Each cell organelle has protein signals that initiate the breakdown of the organelle's components, which leads to cell death.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You perform the three different two-factor crosses (Cross 1: XY and xy, Cross 2: YZ and yz, and Cross 3: XZ and xz). Assume all crosses are between diploid flies homozygous for the alleles of these genes. You observe 7% recombinants in the first cross, 20% recombinants in the second cross, and 13% recombinants in the third cross. if cross between XyZ and xYz leads to which of the followining recombinant with double cross over .
