Question

what is the difference between fragmentation and regeneration ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between fragmentation and regeneration is quite obvious in their respective names. Fragmentation occurs when an organism literally breaks off from itself. The broken fragments of the organism grow into individual separate organisms. On the other hand, regeneration is a form of asexual reproduction where the organism is capable of regrowing certain parts of its body when it loses them. Octopi, for instance, can regrow their arms when a predator bites them off.

Difference Between Fragmentation and Regeneration

Regeneration is termed as an asexual mode of reproduction. It is common in unicellular organisms and lower multicellular organisms, such as planaria. Here, the organism fragments when it’s ready to reproduce, and new organisms are regenerated from these fragmented parts. The difference between regeneration and fragmentation are summarized below:

Answer 2

*Fragmentation ,a form of asexual reproduction, occurs in multi-cellular  organisms (having more than one cells);

*Regeneration occurs in (most of) microscopic and unicellular organisms

(having only one cell that performs all functions necessary for that organism).
