Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms . Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes and death. These changes include blebbing , cell shrinkage , nuclear fragmentation , chromatin condensation , chromosomal DNA fragmentation, and mRNA decay.

For an average human child between the ages of 8 to 14 years old approximately 20 to 30 billion cells die per day. Ref - sciencedirect.com
