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.
