How does plasmodium vivax?

Answer 1

sexual reproduction takes place in plasmodim vivax.after the erythrocytic phase some merozoites on entering the RBC develop into sexually differentiating forms called gamatocytes.these are two types male gamatocytes and female gamatocytes.when female anapheles mosquito bites a person suffering from malaria these gamatocytes enter into the crop of the mosquito.in malegamatocyte the nucleus divide into 8 daughter nuclei and 8 flagellated processes appear on the cytoplasm.each nuclear bit passes into each of these cytoplasmic extentionsand forms a male gamate.this process is called exflagellation. femalegamatocyte undergo maturation to form female gamate.the nucleus moves towards pheriphery and cytoplasm forms a projection at that point.this projection is called fertilisation cone.fertilisation;the malegamate keep on actively lashing movement.one of these come in contact with the fertilisation cone of female gamate and enter into it.the pronucleus of male gamate fuses with female gamate.as fusing gamates are dissimilar in form this fusion is described as anisogamy.this result's in fomation of spherical zygote.so plasmodium vivax reproduces sexually
