  4. distinguish between Hydra budding and with testes and ovaries,
  5. identify both preserved specimens and prepared slides of Obelia and identify the major parts of the colony,
  6. identify preserved specimens and prepared slides of Gonionemus and recognize the major structures,
  7. distinguish among statocysts, tentacular bulbs, rhophalia, and ocelli,
  8. explain what is meant by polymorphism and dimorphism,
