Solution

When female anopheles mosquito sucks blood from an infected human it ingests gametocytes, merozoites, and other stages. When these stages enter into the stomach, all are digested except for the gametocytes which form gametes which further performs fertilization and zygote is formed. It eventually rises over the wall of the stomach and releases sporozoites.
