Can you think of reasons why more complex organisms cannot give rise to new individuals through regeneration ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

More complex organisms cannot give rise to new individuals due to following reasons :
`rarr` Different cell types perform different specialised functions.
`rarr` Complex organisms have tissues and organs.
`rarr` In complex organisms the regenerative ability is lost due to specialisation of tissues and organs.
`rarr` Reproduction in more complex organisms is the function of a specific cell type.
`rarr` Specialized cells to carry out regeneration are not present in complex animals.

When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual. You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger . After you catch it, find the distance d travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, d was found to be 21.0 cm. Estimate reaction time.

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
