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.

Why a species is most likely to undergo adaptive radiation?
When there is a sudden and long lasting change in the environment, adaptive radation will occur.
