What are disease caused by flatworms?
Well it depends, but in some cases people use pills to lower their weight and in those pills their is an egg and the egg becomes to a flat worm. So when that flatworm grows really big in your stomach it eats half of your food and you don't get enough food and people die from it.
List of rainforest animals that are asexual?
Asexual reproduction involves one parent. As a result, the offspring tend to have the same genotype and phenotype; they lack variation. It is advantageous in a constant environment because a large number of offspring can be produced in a short time. Examples: Flatworms can divide into 2 halves; each half grows into a separate organism. Cnidarians undergo budding where a new individual grows from and then breaks off of the parent individual. Echinoderms can be cut to form new individuals. Insects- parthenogenesis (unfertilized egg develops) United Nations Farms
When a type of worm is cut in half each half usually grows back into a complete worm over time. What does this situation closely resemble to?
asexual reproduction or a single-celled organism

When a planarian is cut in half each half usually grows back into a complete worm over time This situation most closely resembles?
I think that it that: asexual reproduction of a single-celled organism.....possibly!

Is sea weed sexual or asexual?

What are the kinds of asexusal propagation and its deffintion?

Is binary fission asexual or sexual reproduction?
Binary fission, or prokaryotic fission, is the form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by all prokaryotic and some single-celled eukaryotic organisms. This process results in the reproduction of a living prokaryotic cell by division into two parts which each have the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.Mitosis and cytokinesis are not the same as binary fission; specifically, binary fission cannot be divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase because prokaryotes have no nucleus and no centromeres. The ability of some multicellular animals, such as echinoderms and flatworms, to regenerate two whole organisms after having been cut in half, is also not the same as binary fission. Neither is vegetative reproduction of plants.
If a flatworm is cut in half how do both halves grow into a new individual?
It is asexual reproduction when a non-parasitic flatworm (planaria) loses its tail and thereby spawns a new planarian. This regeneration can occur with any lost body parts using its adult stem cells. A bisected worm will grow into two "individuals" (although they will be genetically identical, like clones). Planaria are hermaphroditic and normally reproduce sexually. A planarian's eggs can be fertilized by its own sperm or by the sperm of another planarian.
When a amoeba divids in half is it reproducing?
