Why are budding, fragmentation and regeneration all considered as asexual types of reproduction? With neat diagrams explain the process of regeneration in Planaria.
उत्तर
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which new organisms are formed from a single parent.
In budding, new organism is formed as a bud from the single parent cell. A bud or a protrusion develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site and develop into tiny individuals. After maturation, it detaches from the parent body and becomes a new independent individual.
On the contrast, in fragmentation, when an organism attains maturity, the parent body breaks down into a smaller pieces or fragments. Each fragment grows into a new organism.
While, in regeneration, an individual is cut into many pieces accidentally, each piece grows into a new individual.
In all these three modes of reproduction a single parent is involved so these are considered as types of asexual reproduction.
Regeneration in Planaria -
Planaria can be cut into a number of pieces and each piece grows into a complete organism. This is known as regeneration. In the diagram below, the body of the Planaria is cut horizontally into three pieces and each piece regenerates into a new organism.

| The most obvious outcome of the reproduction process is the generation of individuals of similar design, but in sexual reproduction they may not be exactly alike. The resemblances as well as differences are marked. The rules of heredity determine the process by which traits and characteristics are reliably inherited. Many experiments have been done to study the rules of inheritance. |
