- While RBCs do not have nucleus, WBCs have nucleus
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Notes:
- RBCs are smaller in size but larger in number compared to WBCs: This statement is correct. Red blood cells (RBCs) are smaller in size compared to white blood cells (WBCs). Additionally, RBCs greatly outnumber WBCs in the blood.
- While RBCs do not have a nucleus, WBCs have a nucleus: This statement is also correct. Red blood cells (RBCs) are unique among blood cells in that they lack a nucleus when they mature. In contrast, white blood cells (WBCs) do have a nucleus, which allows them to perform various functions related to the immune system.
