Vedclass · Answer

(D) The life cycle of $Plasmodium$ involves two hosts: humans and female $Anopheles$ mosquitoes.In the human host,the parasite undergoes asexual reproduction in the liver cells and red blood cells $(RBCs)$.As the parasite multiplies within the $RBCs$,some of them differentiate into sexual stages called gametocytes.These gametocytes are formed within the human red blood cells before being ingested by the mosquito during a blood meal.
