To solve the problem, we need to identify which of the given organisms can exhibit regeneration — the biological process by which organisms replace or restore lost or amputated body parts.
1. Understanding Regeneration:
Regeneration is the ability of an organism to regrow certain parts of its body that are lost due to injury. Some organisms have exceptional regenerative capabilities.
2. Evaluating the Options:
- Planaria: ✅ Known for extraordinary regeneration; can regrow entire body from a small fragment.
- Homo sapiens: Humans have very limited regenerative capacity (e.g., skin, liver).
- Pavo cristatus (peacock): No significant regenerative abilities.
- Naja naja (cobra): No regenerative capability.
Final Answer:
The organism that exhibits regeneration is Planaria.
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates
Reason (R): Notochord is replaced by the vertebral column in the adult vertebrates.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
| Class | Character | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1) Xiphosura | Poisonous Claws | Limulus |
| 2) Arachnida | Coxal Glands | Scutigera |
| 3) Crustacea | Biramous appendage | Sarcoptes |
| 4) Diplopoda | Gnathochilarium | Spirostreptus |
