Summary Introduction
To review:
The reproductive and locomotive difference between the polyp and the medusa forms of the cnidarians and trade off with the reverse development.
Introduction:
Cnidarians are invertebrate, radially symmetrical, and marine animals that belong to phylum Cnidaria. These animals do not have a complete gut instead have a blind sac, which is connected to the single opening called the mouth. They possess Cnidoblasts (stinging cells) on their tentacles, and are thus called as cnidarians.
