explain why the reduction division occurs during the life cycle of organisms such as plasmodium,that reproduce sexually

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

This is my guess. reduction division occurs to reduce the chromosomal no. When organisms sexually reproduce male & female gametes fuse which are haploid. Because of this the zygote becomes diploid. If reduction division did not occur the ofspring would have been tetraploid. And this would gradually increase.
