The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of RBCs**: - In frogs, the red blood cells (RBCs) are different from those in humans. Human RBCs are typically biconcave and lack a nucleus (anucleated), while frog RBCs are oval and contain a nucleus (nucleated). 2. **Comparing Frog and Human RBCs**: - Frog RBCs are oval in shape, which is a key distinguishing feature. In contrast, human RBCs are circular and do not have a nucleus. 3. **Identifying Key Characteristics**: - The characteristics of frog RBCs include: - Shape: Oval - Nucleus: Present (nucleated) - Size: Generally larger than human RBCs 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the above characteristics, the correct description of frog RBCs is that they are "oval and nucleated". This differentiates them from human RBCs, which are "circular and anucleated". 5. **Final Answer**: - The RBC of a frog is oval and nucleated.
