Some cnidarians are unique in exhibiting polyp and medusa forms. How might their two body forms give them an advantage over species that have only one body form?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cnidarians are mostly marine animals. they exibit alternation of generation with two different body forms. their larval stage is polyp and the maturation stage is madusa. these two different forms help them to survive. polyp stage is sessile while medusa stage is free swiming. they can get food migrate and do sexual reproduction. their are also some cniderians that exhibit only one body form. these are less suited to environment as compared to the others that haae two body forms.
