Sea urchins primarily reproduce sexually, with most species engaging in external fertilization. During spawning, they release eggs and sperm into the water, where fertilization occurs. Some species can also reproduce asexually through regenerative processes, but sexual reproduction is the dominant method for population growth.
Sea urchins reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water, where external fertilization takes place. Once fertilized, the eggs develop into larvae that eventually settle and grow into adult sea urchins. Some species of sea urchins can also reproduce by asexual means, such as splitting or budding.
Sea urchins reproduce sexually, with separate male and female individuals releasing eggs and sperm into the water for fertilization to occur externally. They can also reproduce asexually through a process called fragmentation, where a piece of the sea urchin's body can regenerate into a new individual.
Many species of reptiles, amphibians, and some invertebrates, such as certain types of jellyfish and sea stars, can reproduce both asexually and sexually. For instance, some lizards can reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis, while others utilize sexual reproduction. Similarly, many species of sponges and corals can reproduce through budding or fragmentation (asexual methods) as well as through gamete fusion (sexual reproduction). This dual reproductive strategy allows these animals to adapt to varying environmental conditions.
Sexually. They are hermaphrodites and have both sets of sex organs, but sperm still has to meet egg.
Sea urchins reproduce sexually, with males releasing sperm into the water and females releasing eggs. Fertilization occurs externally, and the resulting larvae develop in the water before settling and growing into adult sea urchins.
They reproduce asexually and sexually.
sometimes, when they see a full moon
Sea urchins generally have separate sexes and spawn seasonally every year. Eggs and sperm are usually released to the water column where fertilisation occurs.
Sponges can reproduce sexually or asexually
Sea urchins primarily reproduce sexually; they release eggs and sperm into the water for external fertilization. However, some species can also reproduce asexually through fragmentation, where a part of the sea urchin can grow into a new individual. Overall, sexual reproduction is the most common method for sea urchins.
Sea Stars reproduce both asexually and sexually.
According to the book Laboratory and Field Investigation in Marine Life they reproduce through broadcast spawning, which is realizing a bunch of sperm and eggs into the water with the chance of one becoming fertilized.

They can do both! A strategy that has evolved in some sea stars and brittle stars is the ability to reproduce asexually by dividing in two halves while they are small juveniles, while turning to sexual reproduction when they have reached sexual maturity.
