Match the characteristics to the correct phylum. organisms lack symmetry organisms have specialized stinging cells adult forms are sessile two types of body plans exist—polyp and medusa organisms obtain food by filtering water phenomenon of alternation of generation is observed

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.
