The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which leucocyte has a bean-shaped nucleus?", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks us to identify which type of leukocyte (white blood cell) has a bean-shaped nucleus. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Basophil - B) Monocyte - C) Neutrophil - D) Lymphocyte 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **A) Basophil**: Basophils have a nucleus that is typically 2 to 3 lobed and can appear S-shaped. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **B) Monocyte**: Monocytes are large cells with a nucleus that is distinctly bean-shaped. This matches the description in the question, making this option a strong candidate. - **C) Neutrophil**: Neutrophils usually have a nucleus that is divided into 3 to 5 lobes. They do not have a bean-shaped nucleus, so this option is incorrect. - **D) Lymphocyte**: Lymphocytes have a nucleus that is round or slightly indented but not bean-shaped. They are also smaller compared to monocytes. Thus, this option is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the only leukocyte with a bean-shaped nucleus is the **Monocyte**. Therefore, the correct answer is option B. ### Final Answer: **B) Monocyte** ---
