Biology

gladu [14]3 years ago
3 0

Cleaving a flatworm into pieces would not kill the flatworm as each piece would turn into a new flatworm. The mechanism is known as fragmentation. In multicellular species, fragmentation refers to a kind of asexual reproduction in which a species gets cleaved into fragments.  

Each of these fragments forms into completely developed, mature individuals, which are similar to their parents. Fragmentation is also called splitting, it is a mode of reproduction witnessed in various species like molds, filamentous cyanobacteria, lichens, various plants, and animals like flatworms, sponges, sea stars, and some annelids.

At which position on an electrocardiogram do the atria contract?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

P wave

Explanation:

Electrocardiogram records the strength and timing of electrical activity in heart. As various regions of heart contract at different times and for different duration, the electrical activity is not constant and shows a series of rise and fall. There are three main components of ECG: P wave, QRS complex and T wave.

P wave indicates the beginning of electrical signal in the right atrium. The signal spreads in both right and left atria which leads to their contraction. As a result, blood is pumped into the ventricles and rest of the process occurs.
