Spirogyra is a green alga (algae) that floats freely on freshwater ponds. Under a microscope, it can be seen as a rectangular cell with a nucleus in the vacuole located in the center. The rectangular cells are joined together in long strands called\u00a0<b>a filament<\/b>. When a filament is divided into many pieces, each piece will grow into individual filaments.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Illustration of spirogyra cell and filament<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The example of flatworm in the previous page is also uniquely true for fragmentation. If the flatworm is divided into two, each half will grow to become individual flatworms.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">In starfish, a new individual can develop when a parent starfish is cut into two. Some worms and fungi are good examples of such organisms that can reproduce by fragmentation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
