Daphnia Daphnia can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
They produce asexually when the population needs a quick boost. Their asexual reproduction is called, “parthenogenesis.” The female daphnia wil increase in size to hold the eggs, roughly 2-20 eggs will fill the chamber, then once the eggs are old enough and bug enough, they are released and can begin to feed and mature. Rotifer Rotifers reproduce asexually, using, parthenogenesis. This is a type of reproduction where the species can develop from an unfertilized egg asexually.
Hydra Some species of hydra are hermaphroditic, they have
both male and female forms of reproductive organs. Eggs can be held in the ovaries, and an organism swimming by can fertilize the eggs in passing which will eventually produce mini hydra. Or they can reproduce through, budding. This means that parts of the hydra wall will develop a mouth and tentacles, and will just bit off the base, creating a whole new hydra. Cyclops Cyclops reproduce most aggressively. The male will follow a female and match up with their swimming habits, then after they’ve been synchronized for 20 seconds, he will jump onto the female, he grabs the female and releases sperm to the females, urosome, then releases his grasp on the female. This occurs midsummer, and the females produce abound 45 eggs.
