Statement 2: Both Amoeba and WBCs are capable of independent existence.

Statement 3: Both Amoeba and WBCs can change their shapes.

Statement 4: Both Amoeba and WBCs have a cell membrane.

• A. Statement 1 is incorrect.
• B. Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect.
• C. Statement 1,2 3 and 4 are incorrect.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect.

Both Amoeba and WBCs have cell membranes and can change their shapes. WBCs use pseudopodia to engulf the pathogen during phagocytosis, while amoeba uses pseudopodia for locomotion and engulfing food. Amoeba is a unicellular organism and can exist independently. WBCs, on the other hand, are incapable of independent existence.
