Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'apoptosis': Apoptosis is a biological process that refers to programmed cell death, which is a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.

Differentiate apoptosis from other cellular processes: Unlike necrosis, which is uncontrolled cell death due to injury, apoptosis is a regulated process that helps maintain healthy tissue by removing unnecessary or damaged cells.

Consider the role of apoptosis in multicellular organisms: Apoptosis is crucial for development and homeostasis in multicellular organisms, as it helps eliminate cells that are no longer needed or are potentially harmful.

Evaluate the options given: Compare the definition of apoptosis with the other options provided, such as cellular repair, cell division, and uncontrolled growth, to identify the correct description.

Select the best definition: Based on the understanding of apoptosis as a programmed cell death process, choose the option that accurately describes this process in multicellular organisms.
