Botany - Reproduction in Organisms Question with Solution | TestHub
Based on cellular mechanisms there are two major types of regeneration found in the animals. Which one of the following is the correct example of the type mentioned?
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Morphallaxis refers to the type of regeneration in which lost body parts are replaced by the remodelling of the remaining tissue. In this type of regeneration, little or no cellular proliferation takes place during the regeneration process. A classic example of an organism that regenerates using this mechanism is theHydra. When aHydra is cut into two pieces, twoHydra'swill be regenerated, both smaller than the parentalHydra. Once regeneration is completed, the twoHydra can continue to grow and reach the size of their original parent. Growth requires cellular proliferation but during the regenerative process very little cellular proliferation takes place.
