| programmed cell death |
The first genetic evidence for programmed cell death (apotosis) was found in the nematode C. elegans with the ced (C. elegans death) mutations. These mutations decreased the normal cell death that occurs during C. elegans development. C. elegans adult hemaphrodites contain 959 somatic cells (together with hundreds of germ cells) and during development to the adult stage 131 cells die and are degraded. Thus almost 1/8 of all cells that are made during development are deliberately lost. ...
