This paper aims to cut through the paradoxes of the literature on the creative personality by arguing that they are all expressions of variations in an underlying substrate (Kaufman, 2005) and are thus not veridical contradictions but elaborations on a single unifying theme.
All types of parasitic flatworm, such as tapeworms, use budding. Budding is an important adaptation for parasitic animals, as this method of reproduction means offspring are guaranteed to be born into the ideal habitat, namely the host organism.
In some species medusae reproduce asexually as well, by fission or budding. Medusae (if present in the life cycle) or polyps produce gametes. Most hydrozoan species are dioecious, a few are sequential hermaphrodites. Eggs and sperm are most often released into the water column and fertilization is external.
