Yes, mature erythrocytes are still cells and are still living. In most mammals the circulating red blood cells do not have nuclei, so they are unable to repair themselves when damaged and eventually die due to the accumulated damage.

What will some stem cells become if they mature into erythrocytes?
If stem cells mature into erythrocytes (red blood cells), they will become specialized for oxygen transport in the body. Erythrocytes are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the tissues and organs, as well as removing carbon dioxide waste. They have a unique biconcave shape and lack a nucleus to maximize their capacity for oxygen-carrying.
What acid is required for mature erythrocytes called?
folic acid
Do DNA have all cells?
No. Some cells do not in fact have DNA, probably because of the lack of a nucleus. For example, mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) do not contain a nucleus or DNA.
What organisms have cells without nuclei?
Cells that do not contain a "true" nucleus are called prokaryotes. Sometimes eukaryotic cells are anucleate(no nucleus) when mature. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) in mammals are an example of eukaryotic cells that do not contain a nucleus when mature.
