Step-by-step solution
Refer: NCERT | Class 12 | Page: 132 | Diagram The life cycle of Plasmodium starts when an infected female Anopheles mosquito bites a healthy human, injecting the infective stage, sporozoites, into the human body (C). The sporozoites reach the liver through the blood, where they reproduce asexually in the liver cells, bursting the cells and releasing the parasites into the blood (A). These parasites then enter the red blood cells (RBCs) and reproduce asexually, causing the RBCs to rupture. The rupture of RBCs is ass
