Yes, planaria are known for their remarkable regenerative abilities. When cut in half, each half can regenerate into a complete worm, resulting in two separate planaria. This process involves the formation of new tissues and organs, allowing them to fully recover from the injury. Their ability to regenerate is a subject of extensive scientific research, particularly in the fields of developmental Biology and regenerative medicine.
Planarian worms have the ability to regenerate into two new worms if cut in half because of their amazing regenerative capabilities. Each half is able to regenerate the missing parts, resulting in two separate worms.
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.
Annelid worms cannot be cut and half and live. Other types of worms can be respawned in their entirety if a sufficient portion of their original body was retained.
it would continue to live because worms have 4 hearts. :) But if you cut a worm in half and it doesent keep moving its because that's really just half of a worm that someone already cut in half
Worms are still alive when they are cut, so they can move. They regenerate their bodies.
yeah
If you cut a worm in half, the half with the head on it, the tail will grow back. It will NOT become two worms!!!
IF you cut a worm in half, the bottom half will die because it cannot grow a new head. However, the top half will live and heal.
Contrary to popular belief, if you cut a worm in half, it will not regrow into two separate worms. The part with the head may survive and regenerate its tail, but the other part will likely die. It's not recommended to cut worms in half as it can cause harm to them.
They will not live. However, they will stay alive for a few hours just as a chicken will stay alive after chopping off it's head for a few minutes. actually they will live. they will grow tails again. I have played with worms since i was a child. They have more than 1 heart and more than 1 brain. a planaria worm will grow back in to two separate worms if you cut it in half, Yes this is the right answer but i think they have 4 hearts and live forever and they grow back
a planaria worm will grow back in to two separate worms What it says below is not true kind of. Today I cut a worm in half, at first I thought I killed it but then I noticed The tail side started moving around. You know a cats tail well it was moving like that but really fast around the ground. The head side just took off like a normal worm through the grass. I took both sides of the worm home and noticed after 3 or 4 hours that the head part grew its tail back and it was now just a short wimpy worm. The tail part did not grow back though, it simpley died after 3-4 hours. So now you know that if you cut a worm in half it will not make 2 worms just simpley heals it self after hours and the other half stops moving... :) The worm dies a very painful death. It is pure myth that it creates two worms as if you take a time to look up what makes a worm you will see it does indeed have a top and a bottom, so to speak. So, don't rush out and think if i cut this worm in half he will have a little friend to hang out with....coz he wont! :)
umm, probly not.. only worms
