Tunicates can reproduct asexually and sexually. Some tunicates can reproduce by budding, which are performed differently by different types of tunicates. Even though some can perform asexual reproduction, all tunicates have the ability to reproduce sexually, and many of them are hermaphrodites. The tunicates have one testes and the ovary organ, that are inside of the body. The fertilization takes place on the outside, and the eggs are produced inside. When the larva leaves the tunicate, it then hatches. | Tunicates can reproduct asexually and sexually.
