The absence of nucleus in RBC is an adaptation that allows it to contain more haemoglobin and carry more oxygen by providing empty space. This adaptation also aids in effective diffusion of oxygen.
RBCs are initially produced in bone marrow with a nucleus. They, then undergo enucleation at maturity , in which their nucleus is removed.

Consider the given situation. During the bread and pastry class of Julie, she watched closely as her teacher demonstrated how to bake a pan de sal. She noticed that her teacher added yeast. She asked her teacher, "Teacher, what is the use of yeast?" The teacher replied, "The yeast will make the bread rise. It will release gas as it feeds on sugar." Julie wonders if the amount of sugar will affect the size of the bread. If you are Julie, how will you solve the problem scientifically?
