Question:
Describe the different steps in the sexual mode of reproduction in the life cycle of a malarial parasite from the time of its initiation till where it is completed and ready to start a fresh cycle.
Describe the different steps in the sexual mode of reproduction in the life cycle of a malarial parasite from the time of its initiation till where it is completed and ready to start a fresh cycle.
Show Hint
The sexual reproduction phase of Plasmodium occurs in mosquitoes, making them the definitive hosts of the parasite.

Solution and Explanation
Gametocytes: Male and female gametocytes are ingested by a mosquito during a blood meal.
Fertilization: Gametocytes fuse in the mosquito's gut to form a zygote.
Development: The zygote develops into an ookinete, which penetrates the gut wall and forms an oocyst.
Sporozoites: The oocyst releases sporozoites that migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands, ready to infect a new host.
