What is fragmentation
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 5 months ago

  • Fragmentation is seen in multi-cellular organisms with relatively simple body organisation. Here the body of the organism simply breaks up into smaller pieces upon maturation. These pieces or fragments grow into new individuals. Eg- spirogyra.
  • Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are a clone of the original organism. Fragmentation is caused by mitosis.
  • Fragmentation is seen in many organisms such as molds, some annelid worms, and starfish.
  • Fragmentation is observed in nonvascular plants as well, liverworts and mosses.
  • As this process is a form of asexual reproduction, it does not produce genetic diversity in the offspring.
