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.
