Mating occurs when the worms' gonadal, openings are opposite each other. Spermatophores are the name given to, these gonadal openings. They are used to exchange sperm packets., , ï‚·, , Clitellum glands generate cocoons. Mature sperm and egg cells, as well as, nutritive fluid, are deposited into these cocoons., , ï‚·, , Inside the cocoons, fertilization and ova development take place. After that,, the cocoons are released into the soil. The fertilized ova then falls off, along, with the worm's cocoon. The cocoon is where the worm embryos develop., , ï‚·, , Each cocoon produces two to twenty baby worms after about three weeks., On average, four are produced., , Class XI Biology, , www.vedantu.com, , 17
