Question

Blood platelets are.

• A. Nucleated cells
• B. Non-nucleated cells
• C. Non-nucleated cell fragments
• D. Nucleated cell fragments

Answer 1

The correct option is C Non-nucleated cell fragments

Platelets are small, non-nucleated cells that are derived from megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Platelets circulate in the blood, sense damage to a blood vessel and accumulate at these sites, where they initiate blood clotting. They are fragments of cytoplasm that are derived from the megakaryocytes of the bone marrow.

So, the correct answer is 'Non-nucleated cell fragments'.
