Difference between Fragmentation and Regeneration
| Fragmentation | Regeneration |
|---|---|
| 1. Fragmentation occurs in multi-cellular organisms with simple body organisation. | 1. Regeneration occurs in fully differentiated multi-cellular organisms with complex body organization. |
| 2. In fragmentation, an organism breaks into pieces and each piece develops into new individual. | 2. In regeneration organisms if breaks into pieces, each piece may or may not develop into new individual. |
| 3. No specialised cells are involved in fragmentation. | 3. In regeneration, specialised cells proliferate and form a mass of cells. The cells from the mass differentiate to form different cells types and tissues. |
| Example: Spirogyra | Example: Regeneration of blood cells in mammals. |
