AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of proliferation modes in nature: sexual and asexual, and regeneration is a form of asexual reproduction. Plants can switch from sexual and asexual propagation, especially annual plants such as trees or bushes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regeneration is a type of asexual reproduction in which the organism is capable of regrowing certain body parts. Regeneration occurs via mitosis. Lizards can regenerate their tails, star fish can regenerate their arms while humans have the ability to regenerate their liver to a certain extent.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the other hand, regeneration is a form of asexual reproduction where the organism is capable of regrowing certain parts of its body when it loses them. Octopi, for instance, can regrow their arms when a predator bites them off.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. Usually occurs in bacteria. 2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals.
