How do jellyfish get oxygen out of their environment for respiration?
Its because their skin is so thin on the body and tenticles that the oxygen flows through their body and goes through to its vital organs, carbon dioxide is removed the same way. They breathe with their entire bodies.

How does polyp reproduce?
Polyp forms reproduce asexually by producing buds that eventurally fall off the Cnidarian and Develop into new Polyps
How did polymorphism in cnidarians influence adaptive radiation of the group?
Polymorphism influences adaptive radiation of the cnidarians because the alternation of their forms between medusae and polyps lets it find the best fit in any environment.

How does the macrodactyla doreensis reproduce?

When was Tillandsia caput-medusae created?
Tillandsia caput-medusae was created in 1880.
Discuss how polymorphism in the cnidarians might have influenced adaptive radiation of the group?
Polymorphism influences adaptive radiation of the cnidarians due to the fact that alternation of their forms between medusae and polyps allows the ability to find the best fit in any environment.
Is jellyfish a Medusa?
Jellyfish development occurs in multiple phases. Sperm fertilize eggs which develop into larval planulae, become polyps, bud into ephyrae and then transform into adult medusae. In some species, specimens may skip some phases.
