A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the disassembly of the nucleus and contributes to apoptosis. The breakdown of the nucleus into small membrane-bounded compartments, or blebs, each of which contain compacted DNA. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the nuclear envelope. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the nuclear inner or outer membrane. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. The breakdown of structures such as organelles, proteins, or other macromolecular structures during apoptosis.
