Answer:

B. polyphyletic group

Explanation:

Polyphyletic group is a taxon which comprises of organisms which are unrelated and do not share a recent or immediate common ancestor. Polyphyletic group is often used to refer to a group of organisms with similar characteristics called homoplasies, but not inherited from  a common ancestor. This means that the organisms are of multiple origins irrespective of the traits that make them similar.

Therefore, from the question, because we do not consider ourselves fish, we would describe the group "fish" as polyphyletic.

Where are your blood cells made
Alexeev081 [22]

Red blood cells. Red blood cells (also known as erythrocytes) are cells in the blood that carry oxygen to all parts of the body. They are made in the spongy marrow inside the large bones of the body. Bone marrow constantly makes new red blood cells to replace old ones.



. In vertebrates, it is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water, and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide, and blood cells themselves. Albumin is the main protein in plasma, and it functions to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which facilitates oxygen transport by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood. In contrast, carbon dioxide is mostly transported extracellularly as bicarbonate ion transported in plasma.
