what's the difference among -regeneration, fragmentation, budding ?
also explain it in terms of hydra
Fragmentation | Regeneration |
Found in lower organisms | Found in higher organisms |
Each fragment grows into a new organism. | Each piece may not grow into an organism like tail of lizard does not gives rise to a lizard. |
No specialized cells are involved. | Carried out by specialized cells only |
E.g. Spirogyra | E.g. Hydra, Planaria |
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism is formed from a bud of an existing organism. The new organism remains attached to the parent organism till it gets matured. Organisms like hydra, yeasts etc reproduce by budding.
