Answer:

hey here is your answer

Fragmentation in multicellular organisms is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into matured, fully grown individuals that are identical to their parents.

The splitting may or may not be intentional – it may or may not occur due to man-made or natural damage by the environment or predators. This kind of organism may develop specific organs or zones that may be shed or easily broken off. If the splitting occurs without the prior preparation of the organism, both fragments must be able to regenerate the complete organism for it to function as reproduction.

Fragmentation, also known as splitting, as a method of reproduction is seen in many organisms such as filamentous cyanobacteria, molds, lichens, many plants, and animals such as sponges, acoel flatworms, some annelid worms and sea stars.

hope it help you

Can a new creature be created from all fragments , even if an animal is split into several pieces : yES : The event is fragmentation

Explanation:

Reproduction

It is the process of producing young ones .

There are two  major types of reproduction

• ASEXUAL

• SEXUAL

• And if we try to visualize the difference between two we comes to notice that in asexual only one parent is involved and it forms offspring identical or we can say clone of parent whereas in sexual two parents are involved , the act of fertilization occurs and it also leads to development of new characteristics.

The differences are given in tabular form :  

Sexual Reproduction  Asexual Reproduction  

i) Biparental                     i) Uniparental  

ii) Fertilization takes place  ii) No fertilization takes place  

iii) Young ones inherit some  iii) young ones are clones of parent.  

characters of parents

& some new ones.  

iv) It leads to evolution.  iv) It does not lead to evolution.  

v) Eg: in humans                    v) Eg: in Amoeba  

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

There are different methods involved :

Fragmentation and regeneration

Fragmentation is when an organism is split into fragments, and each fragment grows into complete, individual organisms under favorable conditions .

Regeneration is the process of regrowth  of parts of that organisms from fragmented  parts .

In asexual reproduction, the planarian detaches its tail end and each half regrows the lost parts by regeneration, allowing neoblasts (adult stem cells) to divide and differentiate, thus resulting in two worms.
