A type of regeneration in which the differentiated cells divide, maintaining their differentiated function without dedifferentiation and production of undifferentiated mass, is known as (1) Epimorphosis (2) Morphallaxis (3) Compensatory […]

Given below are some of the statements regarding regeneration: A. The type of regeneration characteristic of mammalian liver is considered as compensatory regeneration. B. Regrowth of hair shaft from follicular […]

Following statements were made regarding regeneration in different organisms: A. The regenerating blastema cells in amphibians retain their specification even when they dedifferentiate. B. A transgenic Hydra when made to […]

Clonogenic neoblasts are involved in planarian (flatworm) regeneration. This is an example of: (1) epimorphosis (2) morphallaxis (3) stem cell-mediated regeneration (4) compensatory regeneration  Planarians, a group of flatworms, exhibit […]

In case of Hydra, the major head inducer of the hypostome organizer is a set of Wnt proteins acting through the canonical β- catenin pathway. What would be the result, […]

Hydra shows morphallactic regeneration and involves which one of the following signal transduction pathway in its axis formation? (1) Wnt/β-catenin pathway (2) Retinoic acid pathway (3) FGF pathway (4) Delta-Notch […]

In case of morphallactic regeneration: (1) there is re-patterning of the existing tissues with little new growth (2) there is re-patteming of the existing tissues after the stem cell division […]

If hydra is fragmented into various parts, separate group of cells re-pattern themselves into various small hydra. Such an mode of development is termed as (1) Regeneration (2) Morphallaxis (3) […]

In hydra if any part is lost remaining portion re-pattern itself and give rise to complete organism. Such a pattern of regeneration is termed as (1) Epimorphosis (2) Morphallaxis (3) […]
