Depending on the species, annelids can reproduce asexually or sexually. Asexual reproduction takes place through a method called fission. During fission, the rear end of the body splits from the rest of the body to form a new annelid. Earthworms do not have the ability to reproduce this way, but they do have the ability to regenerate their posterior segments. Sexual reproduction takes place by species that are hermaprhoditic (some earthworms and many leeches) or species that have separate females and males. During sexual reproduction, fluids are transferred from the male pore to the female ovipore. Annelids tend to mate when conditions are moist or following a rain, meaning they may mate quite frequently throughout the year.

Is a worm sexual or asexual?

Most worms reproduce sexually, meaning they reproduce by mating and exchanging genetic material with another worm. However, some worms can also reproduce asexually through methods such as fragmentation or parthenogenesis (development of an embryo without fertilization).


Are Ascaris sexual?

Yes, Ascaris worms are sexual organisms, meaning they reproduce sexually through the fertilization of eggs by sperm. This occurs in the intestines of the host where adult male and female worms produce fertilized eggs that are then passed out of the host's body through feces.


Which is capable of reproducing itself?

Viruses can reproduce by infecting host cells and hijacking their machinery to replicate. Additionally, living organisms like bacteria, plants, and animals have the ability to reproduce through sexual or asexual means, passing on their genetic material to their offspring.


Is a worm sexaul or asexual?

yes worms are both girl and boy we think on oneside there is a girl and the other is a boy but were not sure but we know worms are a boy and girl. So if they both are boy and girl they could be called a birl or goy.So if you named a worm it should be a girl and a boy name.


What worms reproduce sexually?

They reproduce asexually by regeneration. Regeneration is the ability to regrow a missing part of the body. Worms regenerate by tearing themselves in half. Then, the two halves each regenerate their missing half, producing two worms where there was only one before. However, this process is only used by accident. Although regeneration is mostly used for healing themselves it is also a means of asexual reproduction.
