One thing that is significant about a red blood cell being anucleate is that it has a limited life span. It also does not reproduce.

∙ 12y agoWithout a nucleus, red blood cells cannot divide. This means that they must be continuously manufactured to replace those that die. This process occurs in the bone marrow.

What is unusual about a red blood cell?
anucleate cell
Why red blood cells have no nucleus but still they called cell?
They are anucleate cells. Note that only mammals have anucleate red blood cells.
Also called an erthrocytic anucleate formed element?
Red Blood Cell
How does anucleate red blood cell make its proteins and enzymes?
It can't. As a result the lifespan of a RBC is about 120 days before it is worn out and phagocytized.
What is oxygen being passed from the blood to a bicep muscle cell an example of?
Internal respiration

Why is a red blood cell called an anucleate?
Anucleate means without a nucleus. Red blood cells are called anucleate because they don't have any nuclei.

What does anucleate mean?
Anucleated refers to a condition where a cell lacks a nucleus. The nucleus is the central part of a cell that contains genetic material (such as DNA) and plays a crucial role in cell function and regulation. Anucleated cells are typically found in specific contexts, such as mature red blood cells (erythrocytes), which lose their nucleus during development to make more space for hemoglobin and oxygen transport
What is a cell that DNA is not found in?
DNA is found in every cell in every organism, even diseased cells.
Which blood cell has DNA?
All groups of white blood cells have DNA. When a blood sample is procured for the isolation of DNA, the white blood cells are the target cells since they have nuclei containing DNA. Red blood cells on the other hand, contain neither nuclei nor DNA
What type of cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane found organelles?
An anucleate cell is the term given to a cell devoid of nucleus.
What goes into and out of the blood as it comes close to body cells?
nutrients being passed from cell to cell
What does anemia secondary to blood loss mean?
It means that the blood count is low because somebody was bleeding (as opposed to blood count being low due to, say, lack of red blood cell production or increased blood cell detruction.)
