I am a student, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that red blood cells do not contain nuclei because it is not necessary to their function. Red blood cells do not divide to make more, like other cells in your body do. They are formed in specific areas of certain bones by red bone marrow. Since the nucleus of a cell contains DNA, the information needed for the cell to divide thereby reproducing itself, and since the red blood cells do not need to perform this function, they have no need of a nucleus.

No, they do not. This means that they cannot replicate, and so must be continuously manufactured in the bone marrow.
