Answer 3

Earthworms are hermaphroditic - that is, they have both types of sexual organ, so there are no male or female earthworms - but they do reproduce sexually. When they mate, they overlap their front ends and each exchanges sperm with the other. The cocoon, or egg case, is secreted by the band which is near the front of the worm. Some time after the worm secretes the cocoon which forms a ring. The worm then backs out of the ring, and as it does so, injects its own eggs and the other worm's sperm into it. As the worm slips out, the ends of the cocoon seal to form a vaguely lemon-shaped incubator (cocoon) in which the embryonic worms develop. They emerge as small, but fully formed earthworms.

Some species of earthworms are also capable of reproducing by parthenogenesis, without mating - in effect, they are capable of "cloning" themselves.
