Statement 1: Both Amoeba and WBCs use pseudopodia for locomotion.

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 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 D

None of the above

Both Amoeba and WBCs have cell membranes and can change their shapes. Both WBCs and Amoeba use pseudopodia for locomotion and to engulf the pathogen during phagocytosis. Amoeba is a unicellular organism and can exist independently. WBCs, on the other hand, are incapable of independent existence. So, only statement 2 is incorrect.
