What is Fragmentation ??
Answers
In fragmentation , the body of parent plant breaks into two or more smaller pieces , the process is known as fragmentation. Each fragment grows and grows up to become a new plant.
The breaking up of the body of an organism in fragmentation to form new organisms on its own when the parent organism matures.
Explanation:
Fragmentation
→ Fragmentation is an asexual method of reproduction.
→ The reproduction by fragmentation method can occur in simple multicellular plants as well as animals.
→ The breaking of the body of simple multicellular organism into two ( or more ) pieces on maturing, each of which subsequently grows to form a complete new organisms, is called fragmentation.
→ The organisms like is spirogyra and see anemones can reproduce by the method of fragmentation. [ Spirogyra is a plant whereas see anemones are marine animals. ]
→ Note :- The main difference between fission and fragmentation is that in fission, unicellular organism breaks up to form two ( or more ) daughter organisms, whereas in fragmentation, a multicellular organism breaks up to form two ( or more ) daughter organisms.
