Because it doesn't need a partner to produce the new starfish.
Starfish reproduce by means of asexual reproduction.
A starfish can reproduce by mating with another starfish or asexually. Asexual reproduction is usually done after a starfish experiences dismemberment. The dismembered arm can grow into a whole new starfish.
some single cell organisems are considered animals and they have asexual reproduction
Starfish use mitosis for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Mitosis allows their cells to divide and create new cells to replace damaged or old ones. In asexual reproduction, mitosis is responsible for generating new starfish individuals from a single parent.
Fragmentation. (Stupid OdysseyWare!)
Since a cell is not considered a living thing, meiosis is neither asexual or sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction is common in organisms such as bacteria, plants, and invertebrates. Specific examples of asexual reproduction include binary fission in bacteria, budding in yeast, and fragmentation in starfish.
If a starfish loses all of its legs, they will grow back. This regeneration is asexual reproduction. We just learned about that
Starfish are capable of asexual reproduction through a process called fission, where a new individual is formed from a part of the original organism.
no they do not "hsve" asexual reproduction they "have" asexual reproduction...
asexual. its what plants do
Asexual fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into two or more fragments, each of which can develop into a new individual. This process is common in some animals, such as starfish and sponges, as well as in certain plants.
