Reproductive method of the Physalia physalis (Portuguese man-o-war) 5/20/03
Hi WetWebMedia,
<cheers, Alex>
I am a year 12 student currently doing a biology assignment and I have to compare the reproductive methods of the human to another organism.
<one similarity is that we are both dioecious (separate sexes)>
I decided to research the Physalia physalis and I can't seem to find anything that covers its lifecycle in enough depth. I know this organism reproduces asexually but I need to know exactly how it reproduces.
<do a google.com search with the genus name only and the rider "reproduction" and permutations of that word. I came across this link on the first page of hits:
http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/physalia/p._physalis$narrative.html
It would be much appreciated if you could answer this question for me. How does the Physalia Physalis reproduce? Thank-you
Alex Brett
<best of luck, Anthony>
