What is the name for the type of asexual reproduction seen in Platyhelminthes, Nemerteans and Asteroideans that describes the animal splitting in two?Answer

The type of asexual reproduction seen in Platyhelminthes, Nemerteans, and Asteroideans that describes the animal splitting in two is called Binary Fission. Here are the steps of this process:

1. The parent organism prepares for splitting and starts to grow larger.
2. The DNA of the parent organism is duplicated.
3. The duplicated DNA is attached to the cell membrane.
4. The organism begins to pull apart.
5. The cell membrane starts to grow inwards in the middle of the organism.
6. A new cell wall forms around the inwards-growing membrane.
7. The parent organism splits into two separate organisms, each with its own copy of the DNA.
