Which of the following pairs of organisms shows a similar mode of reproduction?
The correct option is C Sponges and Spirogyra
The given illustration represents the process of regeneration. A mature Planaria breaks down into many small pieces and each piece grows into a new individual. This involves fragmentation of organisms into small pieces, each of which regenerate into new organism.
Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction in which an entirely new organism is formed from a fragment of the parent. It occurs in multicellular organisms, whose body organization is fairly simple such as fungi, lichens,sponges and some algae such as Spirogyra. The filaments of Spirogyra, upon maturation, break into small pieces or fragments, which grow into new individual.
