Question

The method of reproduction where a parent organism breaks into fragments that are capable of developing into a new organism is called:

  1. Budding

  2. Fragmentation

  3. Vegetative reproduction

  4. Binary fission

hintHint:

Molds, yeast, and mushroom show this type of reproduction.

The correct answer is:

Fragmentation


    • Fragmentation in multicellular or colony organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning in which organisms are divided into fragments.
    • Each of these fragments develops into a mature, full-grown individual that is a clone of the original organism.
    • Organisms can develop specific organs or zones that can slough off or break easily. If the amputation takes place without prior preparation of the organism, both fragments are able to regenerate the organism as a whole.
