Question

wht is the difference between regeneration and budding?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Budding: It is a type of asexual reproduction. In this method a small bulb like projection comes out and gradually grows then gets detached from the parent cell to make a new individual.

Regeneration is the process where individual parts of an organism’s body have the capability to develop into a new individual. This process can be seen in many invertebrates such as Planaria,Hydra, Starfish etc (Lizard has the capability to regenerate its lost tail )

If you cut the parts of Planarian into number of sections then, each part will give rise to a new individual.
