If a tail of a lizard is cut , it can grow a new tail. Is this an example of reproduction by regeneration?
Explain giving reason.
Answers
Explanation:
By understanding the secret of how lizards regenerate their tails, researchers may be able to develop ways to stimulate the regeneration of limbs in humans. Now, a team of researchers from Arizona State University is one step closer to solving that mystery. The scientists have discovered the genetic “recipe” for lizard tail regeneration, which may come down to using genetic ingredients in just the right mixture and amounts.
An interdisciplinary team of scientists used next-generation molecular and computer analysis tools to examine the genes turned on in tail regeneration. The team studied the regenerating tail of the green anole lizard (Anolis carolinensis), which, when caught by a predator, can lose its tail and then grow it back.
Answer:
yes,it is the example of reproduction by regeneration
