The ciliates are also capable of undergoing sexual and asexual reproduction. Ciliates carry out a sexual process referred to as conjugation, which is the source of genetic diversity. The diatoms primarily carry out asexual reproduction (by binary fission), and sexual reproduction in these algae is relatively rare.When they do reproduce sexually, it involves the formation of sperm and eggs. I hope this helps!he diatoms primarily carry out asexual reproduction (by binary fission), and sexual reproduction in these algae is relatively rare.
