Answer 2

What is dispersal

• Individual migration from birth to breeding location, as well as movement from one breeding site to another, is referred to as biological dispersion.
• The movement of propagules like seeds and spores is often referred to as dispersal. Dispersal is a technical term that refers to any movement that has the potential to cause gene flow.
• Dispersal is divided into three stages: departure, transfer, and settling, each having its own set of fitness costs and advantages.
• Individual fitness, as well as population dynamics, population genetics, and species distribution, are all affected by an individual's dispersion from one habitat patch to the next.

What is fragmentation

• Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction or cloning in which an organism is broken into pieces in multicellular or colonial organisms. Each of these fragments matures into fully developed clones of the parent organism.
• Specific organs or zones of the organism may form that may be shed or broken off easily. If the organism is split without being prepared first, both halves must be able to rebuild the entire organism in order for reproduction to work.
• Filamentous cyanobacteria, moulds, lichens, sponges, acoel flatworms, certain annelid worms, and sea stars all use fragmentation as a means of reproduction.
