Solution:

Basophils are a type of white blood cell (leucocyte) that has a lobed nucleus surrounded by granular cytoplasm. They move about in an amoeboid fashion, are capable of ingesting foreign particles and they produce histamine and heparin as part of the body's defences at the site of infection or injury.
