Planaiians aie flatwoims that iepiouuce sexually anu asexually. Planaiians
aie '2(A,B'(CD)E2 meaning they have both male anu female FC.,D* anu can
iepiouuce asexually thiough iegeneiation oi sexually with paitnei Planaiian. This
makes theii offspiing have a F2.2E)1 D)G2(*)EH weie as to if the Planaiian was to
iepiouuce asexually is woulu be a exact copy of the paients genes but asexual
iepiouuction on happens when the Planaiian is when conuitions aie less than iueal
oi if they uo not have a paitnei.

When conuitions aie less than iueal, Planaiian can iepiouuce asexually.
Planaiians iepiouuce ,*2IJ,--H in a piocess calleu 6,)- D(CBB).FK Tail uiopping
involves (2F2.2(,E)C. anu happens when the Planaiian is in conuitions that aie not
less than iueal. To successfully complete tail uiopping the Planaiian must slit itself
in half it uses its tail to cling onto a suiface anu than stietch theie bouy until it splits
in half anu it cieates an exact copy of its genetic mateiial cieating a 1-C.2.

Planaiians iepiouuce asexually by iegeneiation. Because Planaiian's cells
aie Su% "2CL-,*E* they can iegeneiate bouy paits anu vital oigans. Neoblasts aie
cells that have not been assigneu to a specific job yet these cells aie calleu *E2A
12--*. Regeneiation is a useful featuie foi Planaiian things like asexual iepiouuction
neeu iegeneiation. 0i if Planaiian weie to loss vital bouy pait oi oigan,
iegeneiation will help. Without iegeneiation the Planaiian woulu not be able to
iepiouuce asexually.

&C.1-J*)C.? In this lab we tiisecteu a Planaiian to see which bouy pait
woulu iegeneiate fiist. I hypothesizeu that the miu section woulu be the fiist to
iegeneiate. Ny uata shows by uay the miu section was the bouy pait that hau
iegeneiateu fiist. 49% of the paits iegeneiateu fiist but the othei two hau S7% anu
14%, which makes my hypothesis coiiect. Bowevei the whole 7
th
giaues uata shows
that the Anteiioi was the fiist bouy pait to iegeneiate, With the Anteiioi at S8%,
miu section SS% anu the Posteiioi 8% this shows that foi the oveiall 7
th
giaue uata
the Anteiioi was the fiist bouy pait to iegeneiate. In conclusion, my hypothesis was
coiiect foi my class but incoiiect foi the 7
th
giaues oveiall uata.
