Document Summary
Caenorhabditis elegans ( c . elegans) c. elegans is small ( 1mm long) and transparent. Every single cell ( 959 in adult hermaphrodite and. 1031 in adult male ) has been mapped out genome fully sequenced , many genetic mutants acknowledged for their discoveries. 4 genes block apoptosis in c . elegans out of. , 131 cells die during development resulting in a nematode with. 959 cells exactly dead cells are highly retractile and can be detected by. Horvitz screened for worms that after mutagenesis of their genome contained. Ced for cell death abnormal when they mutated the extra undead cells also found ced . 9 - when mutated all cells die by apoptosis during embryogenesis risen cells in figures ( left are those that have died and rounded up 1 blebbed. Caspases play key roles in apoptotic pathways caspases are cysteine - dependent aspartate directed proteases initially were made as procaspases and then cleaved to become active.
