A basophil is recognized by its?

Size
Shape
Color
Large blue to purple staining granules

The correct answer is: Large blue to purple staining granules

A The size of a basophil is not a recognized characteristic of the cell. Basophils are typically smaller in size than other white blood cells, but size alone cannot identify them. B: The shape of a basophil does not set it apart from other cells either. Other cells can have similar shapes, making it difficult to distinguish basophils based on shape alone. C: While other white blood cells may have similar staining as basophils, the large blue to purple granules found in their cytoplasm is a distinguishing feature.
