Which is the correct example of the type of regeneration out of the two major types ?
A.Morphallaxis – Regeneration of two transversely cut equal pieces of one Hydra into small Hydras is true.
B.Epimorphosis – Replacement of old and dead erythrocytes by the new ones is false because The regeneration of tissues or organs through the dedifferentiation of existing, differentiated adult tissues is called Epimorphosis.
C.Morphallaxis – Healing of wounds in the skin is false, because, The reconstruction of an entire animal from a small fragment by reorganizing the existing cells, is called Morphallaxis.
D.Epimorphosis – Regeneration of crushed and filtered out pieces of Planaria into as many new planarians is false, because The reconstruction of an entire animal from a small fragment by reorganizing the existing cells, is called Morphallaxis.
So, the correct option is ‘Morphallaxis – Regeneration of two transversely cut equal pieces of one Hydra into small Hydras is true’.
