no, a cell can't survive without its nucleus as nucleus is the main brain of the cell.
*****A red blood cell is without a nucleus and can survive for 120 days. This cell is very unique to the body because of this.

Do you think a cell would function without a nucleus?
A cell wouldn't survive without a nucleus because that is where the DNA is. If a cell doesn't have genetic material it cannot reproduce properly.
What would happen if the nucleolus stopped working?
The nucleus, as the 'control center' of the cell, regulates cell functions, almost like a brain in a body. Without genetic material, a cell cannot reproduce or communicate with other cells. A cell without internal coordination and control will not be able to survive more than a few days. It can, however survive for a while. An example of a cell that survives for a few days without a nucleus is a mature erythrocyte (red blood cell). Regardless of ability to function for a short time, the cell would eventually die.
Can a cell survive if one of its principal parts is missing?
Mammalian erythrocytes seem to do quite well without a nucleus.
Are very small simple cells without a nucleus?
Every cell has a nucleus. Without a nucleus there is no DNA in the cell and if you didn't know the nucleus is the brain of the cell.
Which organelle directs a cell's activities?
It is important for an organelle to direct a cell's activities because without an organelle directing then the other organelles don't know what to do. This would be like a person trying to survive without a brain.
Why is the nucleus important to a living cell?
it is the most important part in the cell. it is like the brain of the cell. it controls everything. i hope this information helps.

Does nucleus interact with another organelle?
Eukaryote cells CAN survive without a nucleus, but only for short amounts of time, like cloning for example. They could not survive long term without a nucleus. So if you are talking short term: yes If you are talking long term: no (:

What is the name for a cell with a nucleus?
It is an Eukaryotic cell. A cell without a nucleus is a Prokaryotic.

A cell that has a nucleus?
Basically any cell; without a nucleus how will the cell know its function?
Can a nerve fiber survive without its cell or its axon?
It can survive without an axon but not without its cell
What if a cell had no nucleus?
There would not be a cell without a nucleus it is like saying what if a human without a brain. It is impossible.
What is Cell with nucleus?
It is called a Eukaryotic cell
