How are red blood cells and neurons different? (1 point)

Question

A neurons lack organelles, but red blood cells have organelles
B neurons contain DNA, but red blood cells do not
C neurons need oxygen, but red blood cells do not
D neurons are all the same size, but red blood cells are different sizes

Answer 1

The correct answer is B neurons contain DNA, but red blood cells do not.

Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are unique in that they lose their nuclei and organelles during maturation, which means they do not have DNA. In contrast, neurons possess a nucleus and contain DNA.
