The disadvantage of fragmentation as a method of reproduction in flatworms is:

It is a process that leads to lower genetic diversity than sexual reproduction.

This is because fragmentation produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents, leading to greater genetic variability.
