- Asexual reproduction involves a single parent to produce offspring without the formation of gametes. It occurs by the following ways: Fission, Budding, Fragmentation, Spore formation and Regeneration. In one of the methods like regeneration, Planaria A is cut horizontally into three pieces – L, M and N and Planaria B is cut vertically into two equal halves – O and P.
(a) Which of the cut pieces of the two Planaria could regenerate to form a complete organism?
