Fill in the box with proper word :[Chart: ‘Asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms’ with an arrow dividing into two empty boxes.]

Answer: Fragmentation and regeneration.

Asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms takes place by:

• Fragmentation: the body of the parent breaks into two or more pieces and each piece grows into a new individual, e.g. Spirogyra.
• Regeneration: a lost or cut part of the body grows into a complete new organism, e.g. Planaria, Hydra.

(Budding in Hydra and vegetative propagation in plants such as potato and sugarcane are other methods in multicellular organisms. Yeast also buds, but it is unicellular.)
