The only cells which lack DNA are the mature <b>red blood cells</b> (erythrocytes). This is because they lack a nucleus, which is where the DNA is found in other cells. Red blood cells also lack mitochondria which themselves have DNA. Therefore they not only lack nuclei DNA, but mitochondrial DNA as well. <br /><br /> Red blood cells develop in your bone marrow from special cells called stem cells. These do have a nucleus, but as the red blood cell develops the nucleus is squeezed/taken out. This makes more room for the red pigment haemoglobin, which is needed to carry the Oxygen in the red cells. Haemoglobin also carry's Glucose needed for energy and also they take Carbon Dioxide away from the cells to be breathed out through the lungs

Is it true or false that prokaryotic cells contain more DNA than eukaryotic cells?
False. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both contain DNA, but eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA everywhere throughout the cell.
Do flowers have DNA?
Yes, they do, almost all living cells (maybe only one or two exceptions, like red blood cells) contain DNA.
How valuable are red blood cells in DNA typing?
absolutley nothing red blood cells contain no DNA
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
Does Human bone contain DNA?
Human bone contains nucleated cells, osteocytes, which are inside the collagen fibers and contain DNA.
What types of cells contain RNA and DNA?
Genetic cells
Do plants cells contain DNA why or why not?
Yes, plant cells contain DNA. They contain it because DNA is necessary to the cells so that they can carry the instructions to carry out life functions and reproduce.Nucleus and chloroplasts
Is it true or false that prokaryotic cells contain more DNA than eukaryotic cells?
False. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both contain DNA, but eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA everywhere throughout the cell.
Which cells have DNA as their genetic material?
Haploid cells like sperm cells,ova,bacteria
What structures contain the cells DNA?
The two-rod structures that contain the cell's DNA is the chromosome.
What of your body's cells contain DNA?
red blood cells
Do cells ever have to contain DNA?
yes without DNA there is no cell
Does miochondria contain DNA?
Yes, but it is different from the DNA in the cells nucleus.
What does damaging a DNA cell do?
There is no such thing as "a DNA cell". All cells contain DNA.
Do tears contain DNA?
Tears may contain loose cells (which contain DNA), but it is mostly just water and dissolved salts.
Do flowers have DNA?
Yes, they do, almost all living cells (maybe only one or two exceptions, like red blood cells) contain DNA.
How valuable are red blood cells in DNA typing?
absolutley nothing red blood cells contain no DNA
