For the earthworms in this lab, the clitellum is
segments from the anterior end of the worm.

Answer 1

In earthworms, the clitellum is typically found in segments 32 to 37, counting from the anterior (front) end of the worm. The clitellum is a thickened, glandular section of the body that plays a crucial role in reproduction, as it secretes a mucus ring that assists in the formation of cocoons for fertilized eggs.
