totipotency of cells
Can some animals regenerate?
yes like sponges and planarian and the earthworm can regenerate the last half of its body when sliced.
What will happen to a planarian if it's cut in two?
It will regenerate and become two and both of the parts will squirm around.
Why can a planarian regenerate?
Because it has totipotent cells. Totipotent cells are cells that are capable of developing into any type of cell
Is a planarian unicellular or multicellular?
Planaria are multicellular organisms
If we cut each of the followinmg worms in half which one would regenerate into two new worms?
If you cut a planarian worm in half, it has the ability to regenerate and develop into two new worms. Planarians possess remarkable regenerative capabilities due to their high concentration of pluripotent stem cells. In contrast, most other worms, such as earthworms, can regenerate certain segments but typically do not create two complete organisms from a single cut.
How long does it take for planaria to regenerate?
Planaria can regenerate within a couple of weeks. The exact time can vary depending on factors such as the size of the planaria, the extent of the injury, and the environmental conditions. Generally, smaller injuries will heal faster.
If cut in half which worm could regenerate into two new worms?
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.
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.
What factor allows organisms such as planarian worms and worms and plants to regenerate?
A factor called totipotency is attributed to the cells of such organisms. This trait allows any cell in the organism to create any and every type of cell necessary for the organism's function, unlike in most creatures where cells only create more cells of its type.
What animal regenerates when cut into 1000 pieces?
Uhhhm, none from this planet, if that was the answer you were looking for. No animal that has ever been known to live on this Earth had the ability to do something that odd.
