MCQ on Caspases in Apoptosis Signalling (Part-2)

Caspases are a family of protease enzymes that play essential roles in apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inflammation. They cleave specific proteins at aspartic acid residues, triggering cellular processes such as DNA fragmentation and membrane blebbing during apoptosis. This is an MCQ on Caspases in Apoptosis (Structure and Functions of Caspases).
