What is the difference between regeneration …

Regeneration is a  type of asexual reproduction. It is of two types, in the first type, a part of the body that gets broken off or cut is regenerated. For example, lizards cast off their tails to escape predators and then regenerate them. The other type of regeneration involve the capacity to give rise to an entire organism from a cut part. It is seen in small invertebrates such as planaria and Hydra.

Reproduction is the process by which new offsprings are produced from their parents. It is of two types asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a new individual is produced from a single parent and in sexual reproduction two parents are involved and offspring receives some characters from father and some characters from mother.  Reproduction is necessary for the continuation of species and survival of organisms from generation to generation.

Regeneration is part of reproduction

 

Regeneration is the ability of an organism such as planaria to develop into new individual from small parts by regaining lost part. on the other hand reproduction is the process to reproduce in individual from preexisting individual. regeration is a type of asexual reproduction.

The process of getting back a full organism from its body parts is called regeneration.                                                      The process of producing organisms of similar kind is called reproduction. From this we can conclude that Regeneration is not d same as reproduction since most organisms would not normally  depend on being cut up to be able to reproduce
