Question

Assertion (A): Regeneration in animals is one of the strategies to escape predation. 

Reason (R): These strategies include the rearrangement of pre-existing tissue. 

Codes: 

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. 

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. 

(c) A is false, but R is true. 

(d) Both A and R are false. 34. Which one of the following 

Answer 1

The correct option is : (d) Both A and R are false.

Explanation:

Both assertion and reason are false. Regeneration is not itself a strategy but rather the shedding off of any organ is a strategy to avoid predation. The strategy to regenerate the body parts from the preexisting tissue or adult stem cells. This actually involves the de-differentiation of the mature cells to make them a sort of stem cells again which can then differentiate to make the lost part. The latter strategy is different than the strategy involved in escaping predation.
