| Statement I: | RBCs are devoid of nucleus in humans and are biconcave in shape and in all other mammals have nucleus and are spherical in shape. |
| Statement II: | RBCs have an average life span of 120 days after which they are destroyed in the spleen (graveyard of RBCs). |
| Assertion (A): | Open circulatory system is considered to be more advantageous than the closed circulatory system. |
| Reason (R): | The flow of fluid can be more precisely regulated in open circulatory system than in closed circulatory system. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| I: | The interstitial fluid or tissue fluid has the same mineral distribution as that in plasma. |
| II: | Exchange of nutrients, gases, etc., between the blood and the cells always occur through this fluid. |
