Question
Write Short note: Fragmantation.
✓
Answer
Fragmentation is one of the type of asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms. During fragmentation, the body of parent organism breaks up into many fragments. All the resulting fragments start to develop as an independent new organism. In alga Spirogyra, and sponge like Sycon asexual reproduction takes place by fragmentation. Spirogyra grow up very fast and break up into many small fragments when there are favourable conditions. Each newly formed fragment lives independently as a new Spirogyra. Similarly the body of Sycon if accidentally broken into many fragments, develops into new Sycon from each old fragment.

In the surgical method of birth control available for human females, the structures P in the reproductive system are cut and ligated (tied up) properly at both ends. This prevents the reproductive cell Q released by an organ R from entering the structures P so that Q is not available to fuse with another reproductive cell S coming from the male reproductive system. In this way, pregnancy is prevented.

An organic compound A having the molecular formula $C_3H_8O$ is a liquid at room temperature. The organic liquid $A$ reacts with sodium metal to evolve a gas which burns causing a little explosion. When the organic liquid A heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at $170^\circ C,$ it forms a compound $B$ which decolourizes bromine water. The compound $B$ adds on one molecule of hydrogen in the presence of Ni as catalyst to forms compound $C$ which gives substitution reactions with chlorine.
