<prompt> Enzymatic degradation of chromatin by endonucleases is referred to as:KaryolysisPyknosisKaryorrhexisNone of the above  <response>: During necrosis, nuclear changes appear in one of three patterns, all due to nonspecific breakdown of DNA. Karyolysis dissolution-complete dissolution of the chromatin of a dying cell due to enzymatic degradation by endonucleases. Pyknosis condensation-irreversible condensation of chromatin in the nucleus of the cell undergoing necrosis or apoptosis. characterized by nuclear shrinkage and increased basophilia. Karyorrhexis fragmentation- destructive fragmentation of the nucleus of a dying cell whereby its chromatin is distributed irregularly throughout the cytoplasm.
