Which is the binary fission in planeria?
Binary fission is the process in which one can divide as a form of reproduction. Planeria are known for their binary fission which involves regenerating their bodies from parts that had been cut off. They are known to become two separate planeria after being severed in half, under the right conditions, and can even become double-headed if cut correctly.
How do planaria get its nutrition?
A planaria obtains food by using eyespots and special "smelling" cells to locate food. Then the planaria inserts a feeding tube and releases digestive chemicals. Then the planaria sucks up the half digested bits of food. Lovely, isn't it!
