Which of the following is an example of an animal cell that lacks a nucleus in its mature form? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an example of an animal cell that lacks a nucleus in its mature form?
A. Erythrocyte (human RBC)
B. Neuron
C. Leukocyte
D. Hepatocyte
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Mature mammalian red blood cells (erythrocytes) lose their nucleus and other organelles during development to maximize space for hemoglobin. Thus they are anucleate. They cannot divide or repair themselves and have a lifespan of about 120 days. Neurons, leukocytes, and hepatocytes are nucleated. RBCs obtain energy through anaerobic glycolysis.

Question #3
The most common species of honeybee used for commercial apiculture in India is:
A. Apis dorsata
B. Apis mellifera
C. Apis florea
D. Apis cerana indica

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Apis cerana indica (the Indian honeybee) is the most commonly domesticated species for commercial apiculture (beekeeping) in India. It is well-adapted to the local climate and is less aggressive than Apis dorsata (the rock bee). Apis mellifera (the Italian bee) is also widely used globally and in India for its high honey yield and gentle nature. Apis florea is the little bee, which is not suitable for commercial beekeeping.
