Which of the following is taken up with blood meal by female Anopheles mosquito?

Gametocytes

The correct answer is Option (2) →Gametocytes

When a female Anopheles mosquito takes a blood meal from an infected person, it ingests gametocytes of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium species). Gametocytes are the sexual forms of the parasite that circulate in the blood of the infected host.Gametocytes then undergo fertilization to form a zygote. The zygote eventually develops into sporozoites, which migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands and are transmitted to another host during the mosquito's next bite.
