Regeneration, in biology, the process by which some organisms replace or restore lost or amputated body parts. Organisms differ markedly in their ability to regenerate parts. Some grow a new structure on the stump of the old one. By such regeneration whole organisms may dramatically replace.
Regeneration in biology is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. [1] Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans.

Dec 11, 2023 · Regeneration is the process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts to full function. All living organisms, including plants and animals, have some ability to regenerate as part of their natural maintenance of tissues and organs. Some animals have extensive regenerative abilities.
Jul 1, 2024 · Regeneration is the process by which lost or damaged tissues, organs or limbs are re-formed from the remaining tissue.
The mechanisms by which vascular plants grow have much in common with regeneration. Their roots and shoots elongate by virtue of the cells in their meristems, the conical growth buds at the tip of each branch. These meristems are capable of indefinite growth, especially in perennial plants.
