The first source that I found would be helpful for the research because it talks about planarian. The article talks about their regeneration. They focus about the cells, epidermis, and s phase of their body. It has a clear explanation of how they regenerate and produce new head or tail. Also, talks about their reproduction asexually. This will have clear explanation on why the flatworm from the lab multiplied.
The second source would be helpful for the research because it shows all the steps on how flatworms regenerate. It talks about all the different stages that a flatworm have ones they are cut in half. This is relevant to my paper since our experiment was about flatworms. Our specimen was cut in half. A week later it produced another small …show more content…
It shows what happens when the tail, head, or middle section gets amputated. They even have a diagram on how it happens. It also shows how many flatworms are produced if they are cut in a certain way. This will help explain why our specimen multiplied.
The fourth source talks about planarians that are exposed with magnetic field. This makes them change in different sizes due to their reaction from exposure. This is a good article because it relates to our experiment with the light response of the planarians. It talks about how much intensity was used and how much their reaction by size changed. The article also provided graphs to compare each experiments and their results.
The last resource is about the genes of planarians. The article is about why planarians have the ability to heal. They conducted an experiment pertaining to their RNA to see how they work. Also, they looked at their tissue on how they react with different scenarios of amputating and stages of healing. This is interesting because their healing ability could be a result of the future medicine. The article will help me visualize and understand how their tissue heals in different ways. The figure 1 is very helpful. They conducted different experiment from 20 flatworms with the same size. They were all amputated differently and stored for certain hours for a period of time for the observation of their
