Cnidarians exist in two basic body forms: polyp and medusa. Some cnidarians, like Obelia, alternate between these two forms in a process called metagenesis. In this process:
1. Polyps reproduce sexually, forming medusae.
2. Medusae reproduce asexually, forming polyps.
3. Medusae reproduce sexually, forming polyps, while polyps reproduce asexually, forming medusae.
4. Both polyps and medusae reproduce asexually.
