The specimen is a starfish. I found the starfish at Dana Point. The starfish is capable of reproducing asexually. The starfish reproduces through the process of fragmentation, a type of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction that doe not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction or fertilization, and the offspring is a clone of the parent organism because there is no exchange of genetic material.
