What is the function of the seminal vesicles in worms?

Earthworms are hermaphrodites. They have 2 pair of testicles that have 2 pairs of testicle sacs. There are 2 or 4 pairs of seminal vesicles that produces, store, and release the sperm through the male pores. Ovipores and ovaries are in segment 13 that release eggs through the female pores on segment 14.


Do old men sperm carry worms?

No, old men's sperm does not carry worms. Sperm cells only contain genetic material from the male donor and are not capable of carrying worms. If worms are present in the body, they are typically found in the intestines or other tissues, not in sperm cells.


Do worms eat egg shells?

Yes they do, and grow in a cocoon. Although worms are hermaphrodite (having both sets of sex organs in the clitellum) they cannot impregnate themselves. Two worms line up head to tail and pass sperm to each others spermathecae, sperm sacs. A slime tube forms over the clitellum (saddle), dries out and fills with fluid. As the worm wriggles out of the shrinking tube 5-6 eggs and sperm are deposited in it. The tube closes to form a cocoon from which tiny fully functioning worms emerge some time later. Worm cocoons can lie dormant for a year if the soil conditions are not right to support the baby worms. All worms that are cut in half make 2 dead halves of a worm. It is a myth that both halves survive. They might take a while to die but die they do.


What do two earthworms exchange during mating?

During mating, earthworms exchange sperm and eggs. The exchange occurs through a process called copulation, where the two worms line up ventral to ventral and exchange gametes. This exchange allows for fertilization to occur internally within the worms' bodies.


How does fertilization take place with hermaphrodite worms?

Eggs produced in the ovaries pass out of the worm through the female genital pore openings. sperm produced in the testes pass out through male genital pores. during mating, sperm form one worm travel along the sperm grooves to the seminal receptacles of another worm, where they are stored temporarily. Earth worms are hermaphrodites they are both male and female. when worms reproduce, they both exchange sperm. Sometime after mating fertilization occurs and the worm's own eggs are combined with the other worm's sperm.

Do worms have willies?

No, but they do have sperm funnels that function in a similar way to the penis.Worms have both male parts and female parts. The female parts of a worm include the egg sacs and ovaries. The male organs are two pairs of testes, three pairs of seminal vesicles and sperm funnels.During reproduction two worms will attach at their clitellum and exchange sperms, the sperm are stored in internal sacs in segments 9 to 12. Worms will produce cocoons where the sperm and eggs are left to mature into new baby worms.Even though worms have male and female organs, they cannot fertilize them self. More information at link.
