Question

In contrast to their similar brain abnormalities,
newborn mice deficient in Apaf1 or caspase-9 have dis-
tinctive abnormalities in their paws. Apaf1-deficient mice
fail to eliminate the webs between their developing digits,
whereas caspase-9-deficient mice have normally formed
digits (Figure Q18–1). If Apaf1 and caspase-9 function in
the same apoptotic pathway, how is it possible for these
deficient mice to differ in web-cell apoptosis?
