Question
Identify the type of reproduction from the following explanation and draw a neat and labelled diagram.
- The body of the parent organism breaks up into many fragments and each fragment starts to live as an independent new organism.
- Give two examples of living organisms which follow this type of reproduction method.
Solution
- Fragmentation is the process of asexual reproduction in which the parent body breaks into many pieces or fragments and the fragments develop into mature filaments.
- Spirogyra and Sycon reproduce through the process of fragmentation.
