Mature human RBCs are

  • A
    Nucleated and biconvex
  • Correct answer
    B
    Non nucleated and biconcave
  • C
    Nucleated and circular
  • D
    Non nucleated and oval

Solution

Mature human red blood cells (RBCs) are devoid of a nucleus (non-nucleated) in order to accommodate maximum space for hemoglobin, which is essential for oxygen transport.

The shape of mature human RBCs is biconcave, which provides a larger surface area to volume ratio, facilitating efficient and rapid diffusion of respiratory gases.

Therefore, mature human RBCs are non-nucleated and biconcave.

Answer: Non nucleated and biconcave

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
