Detailed explanation-1: -What confers the starfish’s ability to regenerate? Through stem cells in the animal’s body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: Fission is the type of asexual reproduction in which the reproducing organksm breaks into two parts and each part develops into another individual. During fission in a starfish, the central disc of starfish disintegrates into two pieces. Each piece then regenerates into a new Starfish.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction in starfish takes place by fission or through autotomy of arms. In fission, the central disc breaks into two pieces and each portion then regenerates the missing parts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Starfish, or sea stars, are radially symmetrical, star-shaped organisms of the phylum Echinodermata and the class Asteroidea. Aside from their distinguished shape, starfish are most recognized for their remarkable ability to regenerate, or regrow, arms and, in some cases, entire bodies.
Detailed explanation-5: -Starfish exhibit an asexual mode of reproduction through binary fission and regeneration. Starfish is a bisexual organism and undergoes regeneration as a method for asexual reproduction. In binary fission, the parent organism’s cell divides exactly into two genetically identical daughter cells.
