Metagenesis in Obelia is a reproductive strategy in which both asexual and sexual phases occur in the life cycle. It involves alternating generations of polyps (asexual stage) and medusae (sexual stage) in which both forms are capable of reproducing. This allows for genetic diversity and the production of new colonies through sexual reproduction.
Obelia is a multicellular organism. It belongs to the class Hydrozoa, which consists of colonial organisms made up of individual polyps that are interconnected and function together as a single unit.
Obelia is a type of colonial coelenterate, specifically belonging to the class Hydrozoa. It exhibits both motile and sessile forms during its lifecycle; the medusa stage is free-swimming and motile, while the polyp stage is attached to a substrate and sessile. Therefore, while Obelia has a motile phase, it is not entirely motile as a whole organism.
The gastrozoid of an Obelia functions to capture and digest food for the colony. It is responsible for capturing prey using its tentacles and then passing the nutrients to other zooids within the colony through a shared network.
