Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
1
Apoptosis involves controlled cell shrinkage and disassembly, whereas necrosis is characterized by uncontrolled cell swelling and rupture.
2
Necrosis is a programmed process that eliminates damaged cells, whereas apoptosis leads to inflammation and tissue damage.
3
Both apoptosis and necrosis result in the fragmentation of DNA, but apoptosis is a regulated process.
4
Necrosis occurs only in response to external signals, whereas apoptosis occurs randomly within the tissue.
