    Though the fourth Planaria was expected to grow two tails, seven days after amputation, the organism was completely indistinguishable from the others. All twelve Planaria appeared to be fully grown after fourteen days. Certain cuts, like two cuts above the pharynx (Figure 2) creating a fragment too narrow to establish polarity (head/tail) may regenerate two heads (Mescher, 2012, p. 333).
