At one stage in this process, a condensation of chromatin called pyknosis occurs.  
At one stage in this process, a condensation of chromatin called pyknosis occurs.  Syndactyly is caused by the failure of cells between digits to undergo this process. Pyknosis is followed by karyorrhexis, the fragmentation of the nucleus.  After this, protrusions called blebs form on the cell membrane.    During viral infection, protein kinase R induces this to stop the spread of the virus.  In its final stage, the entire cell breaks into vesicles which are phagocytosed.  FTP, name this process found in multi-cellular organisms by which a cell effectively commits suicide.          |
