A five armed sea star is cut into 5 equal pieces how many sea stars will regenerate?

If a five-armed sea star is cut into five equal pieces, each piece has the potential to regenerate into a new sea star, provided that each piece contains part of the central disc. Therefore, ideally, you could end up with five new sea stars, assuming each piece is sufficiently large and contains necessary biological structures for regeneration. However, successful regeneration can depend on various factors, including the health of the sea star and environmental conditions.
