Vedclass · Answer

(D) In the life cycle of the malaria parasite $(Plasmodium)$,the merozoites released from the liver cells (or red blood cells) infect new red blood cells. Inside the red blood cells,they undergo asexual reproduction to form a stage called the $Schizont$. Eventually,the $Schizont$ ruptures to release more merozoites,or some merozoites differentiate into sexual stages known as $Gametocytes$ (male and female gametocytes) which are then taken up by the mosquito.
