Where does fertilization of the sponge take place?
Fertilization in sponges typically occurs in the water, as sperm are released by one sponge and taken in by another to fertilize the eggs within its body. Sponges are filter feeders that rely on water currents to bring in food and reproductive material, such as sperm and eggs, from other sponges in the surrounding environment.
How often do sponges reproduce?
Sponges can reproduce sexually or asexually. They can reproduce through producing eggs and sperm that are released into the water where they can combine to form larvae. Asexual reproduction can occur through budding, fragmentation, or producing gemmules.
What is phylum coelenterate?
most sexually reproducing sponges are hermaphoaites producing both eggs and sperm
What happens during fertiliseation?

How do porifera take care of their young?
Most sponges are hermaphroditic, the same individual producing eggs and sperm, but in some species the sexes are separate. The larvae are flagellated and swim about freely for a short time. After settling and attaching to a suitable substrate, the larvae develop into young sponges. source: factmonster.com
Is the number of litter depending on female eggs or male dog sperm?
It's depending on the number of eggs released by the female. It is the same in humans, thought the twins instances do occur. The male releases millions of sperm that then try to find the eggs once released.

Sponges just release eggs and sperm into the water, where it combines as the water flows back and forth. They can also produce asexual "buds" that just grow out of their bodies.
What is the function of choanocytes in reproduction of sponges?
Choanocytes in sponges function in producing sperm and eggs, as well as in the development of embryos. They help to capture and process sperm in sponges that are hermaphroditic (contain both male and female reproductive organs) and assist in releasing the developing embryos for sexual reproduction.
