Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The absence of nucleus in RBC is an adaptation that allows it to contain more haemoglobin and carry more oxygen by providing empty space. This adaptation also aids in effective diffusion of oxygen.
Concept Enhancer RBC's are initially produced in bone marrow with a nucleus. They, then undergo enucleation at maturity, in which their nucleus is removed.
