How does a mudworm reproduce asexually

Explanation:

Fragmentation and regeneration, the kind of asexual reproduction occuring in California blackworms, occur by a piece or pieces of a parent becoming detached and growing and redeveloping into completely new individuals. California blackworms live in spring water, which has a small concentration of salt water.

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
