How do jellyfish mate?
<|assistant|>
Jellyfish mate through a process known as "medusiform" or jellyfish sex. Some species of jellyfish reproduce by a form of binary fission, where two jellyfish larvae are produced from one parent. Other species spawn large numbers of sperm and egg that mix, leading to fertilization and the development of swimming larvae. Finally, some jellyfish species contain sperm and eggs that are released into the water and swim to each other to achieve fertilization. Once fertilization is complete, the larvae will settle onto the ocean floor and will continue to grow and develop into their adult form.  Some species of jellyfish can also reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis, where they reproduce without fertilization.   As such, jellyfish can reproduce in a variety of ways.
