1. There are a few forms of \"apoptosis\". All of these forms havethe same end point, but they differ in how the cells get there. inparticular some forms of apoptosis do NOT REQUIRE the activation ofthe caspases.
a. Given that the end point of apoptosis is the same, describeone way you would expect all of these forms of cell to be the same(Dead cells is NOT a sufficient answer).
You are studying apoptosis in a particular cell type and youwould like to determine if caspase activation occurs during thisapoptotic event.
b. Describe how caspases are normally activated duringapoptosis.
c. design an experiment to test if caspases are active duringyour apoptotic event. This is just the experimental design, whatyou're going to do and NOT what will it show you.
d. Draw and label two figures with all of the appropriatecontrols. You do not need to write a figure legend, but yourlabeling should be sufficient enough to be able to interpret thefigure.
i. A figure showing that caspases ARE activated by yourapoptotic event.
ii. A figure showing that caspases ARE NOT activated by yourapoptotic event.
