Question

During regeneration, modification of an organ to another is known as

• A. Morphallaxis
• B. Accretionary growth
  
• C. Morphogenesis
• D. Epimorphosis
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Morphallaxis

Morphogenesis :
Morphogenesis is the process of shaping an organism by its embryological factors such as cell or tissue differentiation or organ and organ and organ system development.

Epimorphosis :
The process of replacement or regeneration of lost body parts by proliferation of somatic cells, followed by cell differentiation is called epimorphosis.
In this process, the pattern of tissue does not change.

Morphallaxis :
The process in which a fragment can regenerate the whole body of an organism is called morphallaxis.
In this process, repatterning of tissues occurs which results in the modification of one tissue to another tissue.

Accretionary growth :
The growth that takes place post embryonic stage or during adult age due to increase in cell secretions called accretionary growth.

Final answer :
(C) Morphallaxis
