From our Mm2 scientists series. How do seastars reproduce asexually and where are they found?

So if a starfish were to split in half, and the respective halves were to grow back what was missing, would it be like a clone?

Yes, asexual reproduction results in clones.

@Dutchsnake5 2 жыл бұрын

@@LenWeirdo This did kind of happen. Fishermen (particularly those who fished for oysters) sliced and cut starfish into pieces when they found them in their traps and nets, thinking that they had killed them, and would then cast them back into the ocean. This only made the problem worse as some of the pieces still contained the central disk, which made the population explode and the problem even worse.

My boy Terry done got his pecker snippy-snapped by a dang ol wacko-bucko last year in 'nam, them boy grew one right back and them pecker grew one Terry-ass Terry. Now I got two of them little big bastards and no alimony.

@UguysRnuts Жыл бұрын

There was a TV show in the '80's that cloned Seastars and demonstrated, that when separated by distance and solid walls, physically manipulating one would cause the other to assume the same shape. I think the show was hosted by Issac Asimov or Leonard Nimoy?

Kia ora Herbert - Some sea stars will divide at the original bifurcation but some won't, it depends on the species. Some of our educators at the NZ Marine Studies Centre have observed 3 and 3 and 4 and 4 stars dividing at the same bifurcation each time.

This is what happens when a starfish is too lazy to get married and have kids. Jesus Christ is Coming Back! I’m not asking you to get religious - 2 minutes of your time: To be Saved just confess out loud to GOD and admit that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour and confess that you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins, was buried, and was raised back to Life on the third day. 1 Cor 15:1-4. GOD is listening to you and He will write your name down in His Book of Life so that you may enter Heaven. Jesus Christ did everything for us, the only obstacle left is our Free Will - Do you want to go to Heaven?
