How do polyp and medusae in coelenterates alternate with each other?
Polyp is a asexual form which has a cylindrical body just like hydra whereas the medusa form is sexual form and has an umbrella shape. In case of Aurelia, the adult is sexual form. Males and females are separate and after copulation the female releases eggs which develop into a hydra like structure called ephyra larva which is called polyp form. This larva by budding produces umbrella shaped medusa forms. Thus the asexual polyp form alters with the sexual medusa form. This alternation of generations is called metagenesis.

How are radial symmetry and symmetry different?
Radial symmetry is a particular kind of symmetry in which an object takes on a similar form in any direction outward from the center (like a circle, which is the most perfect radially symmetrical form). Another form of symmetry is bilateral symmetry, meaning that is a two sided symmetry, in which a left side resembles a right side; this is the kind that human bodies have. In comparison, starfish have radial symmetry.
