How are sponges and coelentrates different?

Sponges are of the phylum porifera and are assymetrical invertebrates that have no true tissues due to a lack of cell specialization. Coelenterates are any of the phylum cnidariathat have radial symmetry and are invertebrates. Coelenterates include corals, sea anemones, jellyfish, and hydroids.

What is metagenesis in coelentrates?

Metagenesis, also known as alternation of generations, is a reproductive phenomenon in cnidarians where individuals alternate between a polyp and medusa form throughout their life cycle. The polyp form is a sessile, cylindrical structure that reproduces asexually, while the medusa form is a free-swimming, bell-shaped structure that reproduces sexually. This alternating life cycle allows for genetic diversity and adaptation to different environmental conditions.

Four Ways that organisms reproduce asexually are as follows:-Binary Fission:- e.g. Paramecium, Euglena, AmoebaMultiple fission:- e.g. Amoeba during spore conditions, Euglena.Budding:- Sponges, Coelentrates (Hydra, Obelia)etc.Fragmentation:- Planarians (A type of aquatic worma like Annelids and Flat worms).
