Statement II - Agranulocytes can divide by mitosis after their formation.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct option given below:
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) are terminally differentiated cells and do not undergo cell division after their formation in the bone marrow.
Agranulocytes (lymphocytes and monocytes) can divide by mitosis. For example, lymphocytes undergo clonal expansion (mitosis) upon activation by antigens in secondary lymphoid organs.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
