A wall lizard regrows part of its discarded tail after some time. This ability is an example of:
ADouble fertilization
BBinary fission
CVegetative propagation
DLimited regeneration
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Limited regeneration
1. The wall lizard sheds part of its tail in an emergency.
2. Only the lost part is regrown, not a whole new lizard.
3. Regrowing only a body part is termed limited regeneration.
4. Fission, vegetative propagation and double fertilization are unrelated processes, so they are ruled out.
