Can you think of reasons why more complex organisms cannot give rise to new individuals through regeneration?
More complex organisms cannot reproduce by regeneration because their bodies are made of many specialised cells and organs that depend on each other.
If a big part is cut, the body cannot rebuild all those complex organs again.
Regeneration in such organisms only helps in healing wounds, not making a whole new individual.
