An earthworm can regenerate its head and its tail. An example is, if you go dig a earthworm out from the ground and chop it in half then its head will grow a new tail and the tail will grow a new head. Eventually there would be two earthworms. If you cut an earthworm into four piece's then after a few weeks or even months there would be four earthworms. So if you think that if you cut an earthworm you are killing it you are wrong. But if you cut an earthworm into too many piece's, example twelve then you will kill the worm, and after that there is no way to bring it back to life.
I'm no expert but I know that a certain gene that is active in worms makes them regenerate. When that gene is "turned off" they cannot regenerate.
I think worms regenerate . :o) :o)
It takes about two weeks for a planarian to regenerate.
A factor called totipotency is attributed to the cells of such organisms. This trait allows any cell in the organism to create any and every type of cell necessary for the organism's function, unlike in most creatures where cells only create more cells of its type.
No, unlike smaller reptiles and amphibians, crocodilians do not have the ability to regenerate lost limbs. I would assume they rarely ever need to though, not many things are able to take on crocodiles, especially the Nile and Estuarine varieties.
It depends on your definition of 'worm'. Earth worms and water worms both belong to the Phylum Annelid, if all Annelids are worms then water worms are worms.
Some reptiles can regenerate. Lizards have been known to regrow tails, arms, and legs.
Planaria
No this is just a myth.
none that i know of
Worms are still alive when they are cut, so they can move. They regenerate their bodies.
i believe it is the Planaria Worm.
Yes, Worms can because they are so bendy they are able to have sex by themselves

If a worm's skin dries out, the worm would die. They take in oxygen through their bodies so it will dry out easily. This is why they thrive in dark, moist(wet) places. I would suggest that when you handle worms for an experiment or something, ALWAYS keep the worms moist with water. If you are planing to regenerate the worms, check with a zoologist before doing this because not all worms can regenerate. You can probably find them in a phone book or online. I really hope this helps!!!
