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 .
