Turritopsis Dohrnii
''Turritopsis dohrnii'', also known as the immortal jellyfish, is a species of small, biological immortality, biologically immortal jellyfish found worldwide in temperate to tropic waters. It is one of the few known cases of animals capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary individual. Others include the jellyfish ''Laodicea undulata'' and species of the genus ''Aurelia (cnidarian), Aurelia''. Like most other hydrozoans, ''T. dohrnii'' begin their lives as tiny, free-swimming larvae known as planulae. As a planula settles down, it gives rise to a colony of polyp (zoology), polyps that are attached to the Seabed, sea floor. All the polyps and jellyfish arising from a single planula are genetically identical clones. The polyps form into an extensively branched form, which is not commonly seen in most jellyfish. Jellyfish, also known as medusae, then bud off these polyps and continue their life in a fre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Turritopsis Nutricula
''Turritopsis nutricula'' is a small hydrozoan that once reaching adulthood, can transfer its cells back to childhood. This adaptive trait likely evolved in order to extend the life of the individual. Several different species of the genus ''Turritopsis'' were formerly classified as ''T. nutricula'', including the " immortal jellyfish" which is now classified as '' T. dohrnii''. Life cycle Hydrozoans have two distinct stages in their life, a polyp stage and a medusa stage. The polyp stage is benthic, with the cells forming colonies, while the medusa stage is a singular, planktonic organism. Generally in hydrozoa the medusa develops from the asexual budding of the polyp and the polyp results from sexual reproduction of medusae. In ''T. nutricula'', planktonic medusa have the capability to bud polyps or medusae which also have the ability to spawn new medusae. Several nominal species have been described for this genus, but most of them had been synonymized and attributed to o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Turritopsis Rubra
''Turritopsis rubra,'' sometimes known as the crimson jelly, is a species of hydrozoan of the family Oceaniidae. Medusae of such species are informally called jellyfish. Description Adult medusae are energetic swimmers. They are 3–7 mm in diameter, with a bell-shaped, transparent umbrella. The margin of the umbrella has a fringe of up to 120 closely-spaced, long, thin tentacles which coil up or extend out in strings to catch small planktonic animals to feed on. The tentacles have adaxial ocelli. The bright red or red-orange stomach and the gonads can be seen. They cannot sting humans as their stings are too small. @ 10:36 Life cycle As a hydrozoan, ''T. rubra'' has two distinct stages in their life, a polyp stage and a medusa stage. Polyps grow in benthic colonies and asexually reproduce to create medusae, which are free-swimming, dieocious, and reproduce sexually. Female medusae brood their larvae, sometimes up to the primary polyp stage. The larvae are small and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (film)
''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'' is a 2008 American fantasy romantic drama film directed by David Fincher. The storyline by Eric Roth and Robin Swicord is loosely based on the 1922 short story of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The film stars Brad Pitt as a man who ages in reverse and Cate Blanchett as the love interest throughout his life. The film also stars Taraji P. Henson, Mahershala Ali, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas, and Tilda Swinton. Producer Ray Stark bought the film rights to do the short story in the mid-1980s with Universal Pictures backing the film, but struggled to get the project off the ground until he sold the rights to producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall in the 1990s. Although it was moved to Paramount Pictures in the 1990s, the film did not enter production until after Fincher and Pitt signed on along with the rest of the cast in 2005. Principal photography began in November 2006 and wrapped up in September 2007. Digital D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
