Which of the following describes fragmentation?
A
An organism is split into fragments that then develop into new offpsring
B
An organism divides into two offspring fragments
C
Buds grow from a localized spot on an organism, which fragment off and become new offspring
D
Egg cells fragment into new offspring following mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning, where an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develops into mature, fully grown individuals that are clones of the original organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -The biological process by which the organisms split into two or more fragments to become new individuals (offspring) is called fragmentation. These fragments grow and mature into a whole new generation with identical characteristics to their parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction in which an organism simply breaks into individual pieces at maturity. 2. These individual small pieces then grow to form a new organism e.g., Spirogyra.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fragmentation, also known as a splitting method of reproduction and is seen in many organisms such as cyanobacteria, fungi, many plants, and also in animals including flatworms, sponges, some annelid worms and sea stars.

Detailed explanation-5: -When an organism breaks down into several fragments is known as fragmentation. Each fragment develops into an individual and is a clone of the original organism. Plants, fungi, sea stars, and annelid worms all display fragmentation.
