Liver flukes reproduce both sexually and asexually. Adults are hermaphroditic, capable of both cross- and self-fertilization. The larvae stage known as sporocyst reproduces asexually with its offspring developing into rediae, which also multiply asexually. Adults live in the bile ducts of their mammalian host.

Answer:
- Both sexual and asexual reproduction are used by liver flukes.
- Adults are hermaphrodites, able to conceive both by themselves and by other people.
- The sporocyst stage of larvae reproduces asexually, and the progeny it produces—redia—also multiply asexually. Adults reside in their mammalian host's bile ducts.
- Their eggs are transferred with excrement into the intestines of the host.
- They develop into free-living egg larvae, or miracidia, which have a short aquatic life span.
- The miracidium transforms into a sporocyst if a suitable snail host is introduced, and this sporocyst then releases either more redia or another kind of larvae known as cercaria.
- The cercaria emerge from the snail's pulmonary cavity, float freely until they cling to a blade of grass or another object, and then mature into cyst-encased metacercaria.
