Solution

The correct characteristics of erythrocytes are:

  1. They are the most common type of cell in the blood.
  2. In mammals, for example, they contain hemoglobin.
  3. In mammals, when mature, these cells lack nuclei.
  4. They transport oxygen.

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are not involved in immune responses; that's the role of white blood cells. Also, they are not spherical in shape, but rather biconcave, which increases the surface area for oxygen to bind.
