The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (Q)**: The assertion states that due to fragmentation in Planaria, each part develops the remaining body parts and becomes a complete animal. - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The process described is not fragmentation but rather regeneration. In Planaria, when a part is cut off, it can regenerate into a complete organism, but this is not termed fragmentation. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: The reason states that differentiated tissue present in each broken part of Planaria undergoes de-differentiation and then differentiation in regeneration. - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. In the process of regeneration, the cells in the broken part of Planaria undergo de-differentiation (where specialized cells revert to a more primitive state) and then re-differentiate to form the necessary tissues and organs. 3. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion (Q) is incorrect and the reason (R) is correct, we can conclude that the assertion does not support the reason provided. Therefore, both Q and R cannot be considered correct. ### Final Answer: Both Assertion (Q) and Reason (R) are incorrect.
