Solution and Explanation
Gametocytes develop in human blood and are taken up by a mosquito during a blood meal.
Fertilization occurs in the mosquito's gut, forming a zygote.
The zygote develops into an ookinete and then an oocyst.
Sporozoites are released from the oocyst and migrate to the salivary glands, ready to infect another human.
