Solution
The correct options are A Enucleated cells B Contain haemoglobin
RBC or red blood corpuscles are small and circular cells. These are devoid of nucleus, hence are called enucleated.
They are red in colour due to the presence of an iron-containing pigment called haemoglobin. Oxygen dissolves in the blood due to haemogobin.
WBCs or white blood cells are large, nucleated and colourless cells. They function in protecting the body against harmful disease causing microorganisms.
