atoke การใช้

• The front half, the atoke, is asexual.
• Typically, male worms undergo a more pronounced transformation from atoke to epitoke.
• The majority of species that undergo epigamy are unable to revert to the atoke form and die after reproducing.
• For species that use this method, the atoke undergoes physiological and morphological modifications as it transforms into the epitoke.
• Each bud develops into an epitoke and, once fully formed, will then break off from the atoke and become free-swimming.
• Many species go through "'schizogamy "', where the atoke uses asexual reproduction to produce buds from its posterior end.
• "' Epitoky "'is a process that occurs in many species of polychaete marine worms wherein a sexually immature worm ( the "'atoke "') is modified or transformed into a sexually mature worm ( the "'epitoke "').
