Best Answer

Planaria are hermaphrodites, possessing both testes and ovaries. Thus, they can reproduce asexually with their own gametes or sexually with another planarian. In asexual reproduction, the planarian detaches its tail end and each half regrows the lost parts by regeneration. However several problems can occur with this, so this does not happen very often. Instead, in sexual reproduction, each planarian transports its excretion to the other planarian, giving and receiving sperm. Eggs develop inside the body and are shed in capsules. Weeks later, the eggs hatch and grow into adults. Sexual reproduction is desirable because it enhances the survival of the species by increasing the level of genetic diversity.

Earthworms each have male and female reproductive organs. To produce offspring, two earthworms must join at the male end of one worm and female end of the other. After they have exchanged spermatophores, a cocoon is formed and after about three to five weeks, they hatch.

They don't; earthworms use sexual reproduction, but as they're hermaphrodites, both partners get one another 'pregnant' and then combine their eggs in a single capsule. Cute, isn't it? ^^

There are no "parents" as such, as asexual reproduction is reproduction without the use of sex organs. Asexual reproduction is usually found in amoeba, and other single celled organisms.

How many parents does an asexual reproduction organism have?

Asexual means "not sexual": These organisms do not use sexual reproduction, which requires two parents. An asexual organism therefore only has one parent. Asexual organisms are simple and single-celled (unicellular). When the cell divides, the organism had reproduced. This has an advantage: The organism doesn't need another of its own kind to pass its genetic material on. It also has a disadvantage: The genetics of asexual organisms are less diverse. Sexual reproduction allows organisms to be more adaptible than asexual reproduction, since more unique combinations of genes can result with sexual reproduction.
