Question

how does plasmodium reproduced? is this method sexual or asexual?

Answer 1

Plasmodium reproduce through multiple fission, by dividing its nuclei in many daughter cells. It is asexual reproduction.

Answer 2

Plasmodium reproduces asexually by multiple fission.

Explanation:

Usually asexual mode of reproduction occurs by Budding or gemmation, plasmotomy, regeneration, multiple fission, and gemmules formation.

Among the above mentioned mode of asexual reproduction, the plasmodium reproduces asexually by multiple fission. In plasmodium, the nucleus of the cell divides very rapidly into many nuclei. Each daughter nucleus in later stage is surrounded by the little mass of the cytoplasm and forms asexually reproducing body such as schizogont, gamont, spore, etc.
