MCQ
Erythrocytes in camel are:
  • A
    Oval and non$-$nucleated
  • Oval and nucleated
  • C
    Circular, biconcave and non$-$nucleated
  • D
    Circular, biconvex and nucleated

Answer

Correct option: B.
Oval and nucleated
Camels have to live without food and water for a long time. Their $\text{RBCs}$ have an oval shape unlike those of other mammals, which are circular. This facilitates the flow of red blood cells during dehydration and makes them better at withstanding high osmotic variation without rupturing when drinking large amounts of water.
