The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question:** The question asks about the characteristics of red blood cells (RBCs) in frogs. Specifically, it inquires whether they are nucleated or non-nucleated and what their shape is. 2. **Identify the Options:** The options provided are: - A) Nucleated and biconcave - B) Enucleated and biconvex - C) Nucleated and biconvex - D) Non-nucleated and biconcave 3. **Research Frog RBC Characteristics:** - In frogs, the red blood cells are known to be **nucleated**. This is a key difference from human RBCs, which are **enucleated** (lack a nucleus). - The shape of frog RBCs is typically described as **biconvex**, which means they are oval-shaped and bulge outward on both sides. 4. **Analyze Each Option:** - **Option A:** Nucleated and biconcave - Incorrect. While they are nucleated, they are not biconcave. - **Option B:** Enucleated and biconvex - Incorrect. Frog RBCs are nucleated, not enucleated. - **Option C:** Nucleated and biconvex - Correct. This matches the characteristics of frog RBCs. - **Option D:** Non-nucleated and biconcave - Incorrect. They are nucleated and not biconcave. 5. **Conclusion:** Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option C: Nucleated and biconvex**. ---
