| 11. | In erythrocytes or leukocytes, merozoites develop into gametocytes.

| 12. | The male gametocytes normally give rise to eight microgametes.
|
| 13. | During the mosquito blood meal, male and female haploid gametocytes are ingested.
|
| 14. | The gametocytes had low levels of polymorphic surface antigens.
|
| 15. | Mature gametocytes are usually oval and approximate the host cell nuclei in size.
|
| 16. | Immature gametocytes like young schizonts are elongate and narrow, with acuminate ends.
|
| 17. | The gametocytes are huge and fill the entire erythrocyte.
|
| 18. | The only stage seen in the blood are gametocytes.
|
| 19. | Gametocytes are elongate and slender with irregular margins and are found exclusively in erythrocytes.
|
| 20. | The peripheral cytoplasm condenses around the nuclei to form 16 isogametes within each gametocyte.
