- Asexual reproduction
- Splits into nearly equal halves after mitosis
- Sometimes daughter cell considerably smaller then grows= budding
- Schizogony= cell division preceded by several nuclear divisions so that cytokinesis produces several individuals simultaneously
- Sexual reproduction
- MeiOSis for production of haploid from diploid = frequent genetic recombination
- Complex lifestyles
Some protists have a specific lifestyle in which they reproduce through multiple forms through sexual, asexual, or cloning processes.
