dear sonal
the alternation of generation between the sexual and asexual phase within the same species is called as metagenesis .
it generally shown by cnidarians which exhibits both forms – polyps and medusae . polyps produce medusae asexually , and medusae forms polyps sexually .
example – obellia .

Cnidarians which exist in both the form (polyp and Medusa), also exhibit alternation of generation in their life cycle (metagenesis)

HI FRIEND

The definition of metagenesis is the reproduction cycle of an organism that alternates between sexual and asexual generations. An example of metagenesis is the reproduction cycle of a cnidarian.
