Do earthworms reproduce sexually or asexually?
Sexually. Earthworms are bisexual, or hermaphroditic, which means that each individual has both male and female sex organs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first answer is not completely right. Earthworms have babies asexually and sexually, becasue sexually they can mate with another worm, and asexually because a worm can have it by itself ans the baby worm will have the exactly same DNA. Worms also have babies asexually because if you cut a worm in half it goes through regeneration and fragementation and that piece becomes a different worm and the other piece regrows. <--That is incorrect: Worms do not regrow into two worms when cut in half. The part that contains the upper half of the body will regrow the parts that it has lost, while the lower part (that doesn't contain the brain) will just wiggle around because of the ganglia that are still intact.
What do two earthworms exchange during mating explain why?
During mating, two earthworms exchange sperm with each other. Each worm has a clitellum, a thickened band that produces a mucus sheath to protect the fertilized eggs. This exchange allows both worms to have a supply of sperm for fertilization, increasing genetic diversity in their offspring. After mating, each worm can fertilize its eggs using the sperm received from its partner.
Does an earthworm have to produce sperm and egg for fertilization to occur?
No, earthworms are hermaphrodites, which means they have both male and female reproductive organs. They can produce both eggs and sperm, and fertilization can occur when two earthworms exchange sperm during mating.

What is special about earthworms reproductive system?
Earthworms have a unique reproductive system that is hermaphroditic, meaning each individual possesses both male and female reproductive organs. During mating, two earthworms exchange sperm, which they later use to fertilize their own eggs. They produce a cocoon from a special gland, which contains the fertilized eggs and serves as a protective environment for the developing young. This reproductive strategy enhances their ability to reproduce in diverse environments.
Do worms have a dad?
Worms, particularly earthworms, do not have a traditional father in the way many animals do. They are hermaphrodites, meaning each worm has both male and female reproductive organs. When two earthworms mate, they exchange sperm to fertilize their eggs, but they do not have distinct parental roles like in many other species. After mating, they create a cocoon for their fertilized eggs, which develop independently.
How do segmented worms mate?
Segmented worms, such as earthworms, are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. During mating, two worms align their bodies and exchange sperm through a structure called the clitellum. Each worm then fertilizes the other's eggs, which are later deposited in cocoons for incubation.
Why are two flies stuck together?
Two flies may become stuck together due to a mating behavior called "mating in copula," where the male and female flies physically connect during reproduction.
What do you mean by asexual reproduction?
It means something that produces both sperm and eggs. Take for example the earthworm. It produces eggs and sperm but CANNOT fertilise itself. During 'mating' two worms exchange sperm so they fertilise each other.

How do worms reprpoduce?
