Why female anopheles mosquito is responsible to transfer plasmodium in humanbeing and why not in the male?

Male (and female) mosquitoes feed on flowers. However, it is only the female mosquito which bites humans. "She" does this in order to obtain proteins from the blood plasma, which she needs for her eggs. (The male mosquito does not need these proteins, hence it does not bite the human.) Since the female mosquito is the only one being exposed to human blood, it is the only one which will transmit its contents, including malaria. :)

Why does malaria spread only by female anopheles mosquitoes?

The female is the only mosquito that sucks blood Only the female is capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy. Females do not require blood to survive, but they need supplements, such as protein and iron, to enable them to develop and lay their eggs. The female Mosquitoes do not actually "bite". They will actually pierce the skin with their sharp proboscis, injecting a mild painkiller as they do so, to numb the pain, and will then proceed to suck the host's blood.

When the mosquito bites why does she inject an anticoagulant?

When a female mosquito bites, she injects an anticoagulant to prevent the host's blood from clotting. This allows her to feed more efficiently by ensuring a continuous flow of blood. The anticoagulant also helps her obtain the necessary nutrients for egg development. Without this mechanism, the blood would clot quickly, making feeding difficult and reducing her chances of reproductive success.
