3<%;9=& Planaiia aie flatwoims that have the ability to iepiouuce sexually oi
asexually. Sexual iepiouuction occuis between two planaiia. Since they aie
heimaphiouites they have both female anu male paits. This allows them to each
have an offspiing. Planaiia iepiouuce by exchanging speim with one anothei, anu
then the speim feitilizes each of theii eggs, anu then is laiu unuei iocks. Two to
thiee weeks latei the eggs aie hatcheu, cieating new planaiia. The new offspiing's
aie genetically mixeu fiom theii paients. Baving the ability to cieate genetically
uiveise offspiing woulu pievent ueceases fiom going onto its offspiing

Planaiia iepiouuce !"#$%!&&' by tale uiopping oi fiagmentation. Asexual piouuction
only neeus one planaiian. It happens by tale uiopping oi fiagmentation. Tale
uiopping is when theii tales attach to an object anu the iest of theii bouy move
away fiom the tale. Aftei this happens each will giow back into two sepaiate
planaiia. Fiagmentation is when the planaiian sepaiates into many pieces. Each
piece eventually giows into new planaiia. By being able to asexual iepiouuce, a
single planaiian can live by it self anu still have offspiing.

Planaiia aie able to iepiouuce asexually thiough the piocess of geneiation.
Regeneiation in planaiia happens aftei they aie sepaiateu it to multiple pieces anu
aftei a while each piece will giow back into a full bouy. This occuis because planaiia
has about Su% of totipotent neoblasts (stem cells, unuiffeientiateu cell) that have
potential to become any othei cell. When an injuiycut happens neoblasts migiate
to the site of the injuiy wheie they iepiouuce all of the cells to cieate a whole
planaiian. Being able to uo this allows asexual iepiouuction anu a planaiian is cut
the ability to giow back so that it won't uie. In my BYP0TBESIS I saiu Anteiioi,
because it is the biggest anu two heaueu, also the most moving planaiia.

In this lab, we tiisecteu a planaiian to expeiiment which piece of the planaiia
woulu iegeneiate fiist: the anteiioi, miu-section oi posteiioi. I hypothesizeu that
the miu-section woulu iegeneiate fiist. Ny uata shows by the uay thiee; theie was a
noticeable amount of tissue giowth on the Niu-section. The anteiioi anu posteiioi
weie haiu at woik ueveloping light ieceptois, while the Niu-section alieauy hau
them! By the last uay, theie was only slightest bit of ghost cells at the wounu. The
Anteiioi was only about a quaitei of miu-section's size, anu the posteiioi haun't
even finish giowing the light ieceptoi compaieu to the 7
th
giaue, 49% 78 of S8
pieces iegeneiateu fiist. In 2
nu
peiiou only S8% of miu-section pieces iegeneiateu
fiist. Bowevei, in 6
th
peiiou, Su% miu pieces iegeneiateu fiist! In conclusion,
planaiian will iegeneiate when tiisecteu anu the miu section will iegeneiate fiist.
