Question

The eye of lobster is replaced by an antenna like structure. It is an example of

• A. Reparative regeneration
• B. Heteromorphic regeneration
• C. Physiological regeneration
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Heteromorphic regeneration

• Heteromorphic regeneration is the phenomenon in which a different organ develops from the one that has been removed. For example, In lobsters, the eye is regenerated, If it is removed from the eyestalk. But if the eye is removed along with optic ganglion, instead of eye an antenna like the organ is regenerated.
• This type of regeneration occurs in lower animals.
• Hence The eye of lobster is replaced by an antenna-like structure. It is an example of Heteromorphic regeneration.
• So, the correct answer is 'Heteromorphic regeneration'.
