If part of an animal is cut off, and the animal grows that part back but remains one animal, that's regeneration! If part of an animal is cut off, and it becomes two complete animals, that's fragmentation... and regeneration!

More info:

Fragmentation is when an organism is split into fragments, and each fragment grows into complete, individual organisms that are clones of the original organism.

Regeneration is the process of regrowth that organisms that allows for partial or complete regrowth of tissue after a damaging event.

The difference is that fragmentation specifies two parts each growing into complete organisms, but regeneration is simply a general process of regrowth. Few species are capable of fragmentation, but ALL species undergo regeneration, to varying degrees.

hello ☺


⏺Regeneration is a power or ability of a living organism to re-grow the part of the body that gets broken off or cut.When it has involvement with asexual reproduction, then the broken part regenerate into new individual of the same type.

⏺It has its own self sufficiency.


⏺Examples- Lizard, echinoderms, Planaria, Hydra

⏹⏹fragmentation has involvement only with asexual reproduction

⏹⏹This form of asexual reproduction, after the step of fragmentation, require the power of regeneration to form whole organism

⏹⏹Examples- Spirogyra, Planaria, flatworms, etc



thank you
