Solution

The correct option is A A: RBC; B: WBC
A has no nucleus
A has to accommodate more haemoglobin so that it can transport more oxygen
A is RBC, and B is WBC.
The RBC will lose its nucleus during the phase of maturation. RBCs are produced in the bone marrow and they have a nucleus when they are initially produced. Later, they lose their nucleus to accommodate more haemoglobin so that they can transport more oxygen. Therefore, they are still considered as cells.
