Differentiate between Regeneration and Fragmentation?

Question

Answer

In ReGenration...

Formation of whole organism from A Small fragments or the damaged body takes place

Eg- Planaria, Lizard

In Fragmentation

Parent bOdy breaks Into two or More fragments and each Fragment Develops into a New Organism

Eg- Starfish, sponges

Answer

REGENERATION->
*it is the ability of a fully differentiated organism to regenerate the whole body from their body parts.
* in planaria and Hydra if the individual is cut or broken into many pieces a small piece is capable to regenerate of the entire individual.
* it happens in uneven conditions.
FRAGMENTATION->
* it is the ability of an organism to make a new individual from the fragments or pieces of the body.
* it happens upon maturation .
* take place in favourable condition

Answer

When organisms is cut off due to some damaging event and a new organisms is formed from that part, then this is called regeneration.
For example - planaria.

In fragmentation, an organism is gets split up into two or more fragments (on getting mature) and from each fragments a new individual is form.
For example - Spirogyra.

Answer

Hello shivangi,

【】Fragmentation :-

1: fragmentation occurs in multi-cellular organisms with simple body organization.
2: in fragmentation an organism breaks into pieces and each pieces develops into a new individual .
3: no specialized cells are involved in fragmentation .

【】Regeneration :-

1: regeneration occurs in fully differentiated multi-cellular organism with complex body organization.
2: in regeneration organism breaks into pieces and the pieces may or may not group up in to a new individual .
3: In regeneration, specialized cells proliferate and form a mass of cells. The cells from the mass differentiate to form different cells types and tissues.

Thanks for asking the question, keep learning.
