Identify the organisms that exist as either medusa or polyp form?
Jellyfish exist as either a medusa (adult free-floating) or polyp (immature attached) form during their life cycle. Another example is the Portuguese Man o' War, which also has a medusa (floating) and polyp (attached) stage.
Is the gametophyte stage the dominant stage in a gymnosperms life cycle?
No, the sporophyte stage is the dominant stage in the gymnosperm life cycle. The gametophyte stage is reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition and support.
What from stage of the cell cycle do cells sometimes exit?
From stage of the cell cycle do cells somtimes exit?
What class of cnidarians typically only live as polyps?
The class of cnidarians that typically only live as polyps is the Anthozoa. This class includes sea anemones and corals, which exist primarily as polyps and do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle.
What stage of the fruit fly cycle is known as the eating stage?
I think this is its larva stage
What is a free-swimming jellyfish-like and often umbrella-shaped sexual stage in the life cycle of a cnidarian also a jellyfish or hydra?
medusa
How does solitary freshwater hydra move?
They don't move because they do not have a medusoid stage of life cycle. They expel their gametes into the environment to form a another polyp when eggs are fertilized through a planular larva
Is it true the polyp phase dominates in the animal life cycle in scyphozoa?
It is wrong as Medusa stage is dominent in Scyphozoa .
What are the two phases if coelenterates?
The two phases in the life cycle of coelenterates are the polyp stage and the medusa stage. The polyp stage is characterized by a tubular body with tentacles facing upwards, while the medusa stage is characterized by a bell-shaped body with tentacles facing downwards. These two stages alternate in the life cycle of coelenterates.
What is the difference between the life cycle of a butterfly and the life cycle of a human?
You really cannot compare the cycle of a butterfly to a hydra because a hydra is a fictional character from mythology. A hydra is a multiple headed monster.
What major difference distinguishes the life cycles of hydrozoans and anthozoans?
One major difference is that hydrozoans typically exhibit both medusa and polyp stages in their life cycle, while anthozoans only have a polyp form. Hydrozoans can undergo alternation of generations, switching between medusa and polyp forms, while anthozoans remain primarily as polyps throughout their life cycle.
What is the dispersive stage of sponges?
medusa, the polyp is the sessile stage
Who was Medusa married to?
Medusa wasn't married, but she was Poseidon's girlfriend at one stage.
Who Medusa married to?
Medusa wasn't married, but she was Poseidon's girlfriend at one stage.
What is the function of the medusa stage?
The medusa stage is the free-swimming phase in the life cycle of cnidarians, such as jellyfish. Its primary function is reproduction; medusae produce gametes that facilitate sexual reproduction, leading to the formation of zygotes. Additionally, the medusa stage allows for dispersal and movement through the water, enabling the organism to colonize new areas and find food. Overall, it plays a crucial role in the lifecycle and ecological success of cnidarians.
Who is the Animal that does not show locomotion in adult stage?
HYDRA
How does the alternation of generations in cnidarians impact their reproductive cycle and life cycle?
The alternation of generations in cnidarians involves two different stages in their life cycle: a polyp stage and a medusa stage. This impacts their reproductive cycle by allowing for both asexual reproduction through polyps and sexual reproduction through medusae. This cycle helps cnidarians adapt to different environments and maximize their reproductive success.
