Question

Connor listed the steps involved when a Portuguese man-of-war reproduces. I only have an hour on this test

Answer 1

Answer:

The missing step on Connor's list is the medusae bud off the polyp after step 5.

Explanation:

Portuguese man-of-war (Physalia physalis) is a cnidary -which is considered very poisonous to other species, including humans- and is not properly a jellyfish, but rather a set of different organisms (hydroids) grouped into a colonial organism. However, its life cycle is like that of jellyfish.

The life cycle of a  Portuguese man-of-war is:

• Release of gametes in the water.
• External fertilization
• Formation of the planula, larva provided with cilia that swims freely .
• Planula adheres to a surface to form the polyp or scifistoma.
• The polyp can produce jellyfish larvae by gemmation (not fragmentation) in the oral pole of this polyp, the strobilus.
• Finally, the star-shaped larvae detach from the strobilus and after a while become their adult form.

In Connor's list, the missing step is the release of larvae from the polyp, after step 5.
