Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a starfish grows a new body off a broken arm, what kind of reproduction is its regeneration process?
A
Sexual
B
Photosynthesis
C
Asexual
D
Specialization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Starfish exhibit an asexual mode of reproduction through binary fission and regeneration. Starfish is a bisexual organism and undergoes regeneration as a method for asexual reproduction. In binary fission, the parent organism’s cell divides exactly into two genetically identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction in starfish takes place by fission or through autotomy of arms. In fission, the central disc breaks into two pieces and each portion then regenerates the missing parts.

Detailed explanation-3: -starfish follows the fragmentation method.

Detailed explanation-4: -Starfish reproduces asexually by the process of regeneration. In the process of regeneration, one or more parts of the organism get divided and each divided part develops into a complete organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
