Ques. 1AIPMT 2015

Metagenesis refers to

  1. occurrence of a drastic change in form during post-embryonic development
  2. presence of a segmented body and parthenogenetic mode of reproduction
  3. presence of different morphic forms
  4. alternation of generation between asexual and sexual phases of an organism.

Answer

(4) alternation of generation between asexual and sexual phases of an organism.

Solution

As per NCERT, some cnidarians, e.g., Obelia, exhibit alternation of generation (Metagenesis), i.e., polyps produce medusae asexually and medusae form the polyps sexually.

∵ A drastic change in form during post-embryonic development is metamorphosis and different morphic forms is polymorphism, options (1) and (3) are not metagenesis.
