mitosis is a type of nuclear division, that is to say the nucleus of the cell devides. red blood cells have no nucleus so cant undergo mitosis.
cytokenesis is when one cell splints into two. if a red blood cell were to undergo cytokenesis (even though it doesnt have the cellular machinary to do this) it would be half the size and have half as much heamaglobin as before, with no way to get back to the size it is 'supposed' to be and no way to generate more heamaglobin.

∙ 12y agoNo. Red Blood Cells (RBC) are the final cell in a line of cell differentiations starting with a stem cell in bone marrow. During that differentiation the pre-RBC ejects its nucleus and all its DNA. This allows more room for the Oxygen carrying hemoglobin protein. This also means that the cell can no longer undergo Mitosis (cell division). Because of this, new RBCs are constantly being made in the bone marrow by new stem cells beginning this line of differentiation.

∙ 12y agoNo it cant as they do not have a nucleus to make space for carrying more oxygen to improve efficency they are made from stem cells in the bone marrow. The nucleus is the most important organelle for mitosis as it contains the genetic information so if it is not present then im afraid mitosis is just not 'aving it.

∙ 13y agoNo, because red blood cells don't have a nucleus. The bone marrow makes more red blood cells.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. Red blood cells lack nucleus and its sole purpose is to carry oxygen until its demise. Because of this, red blood cells are produced by pluripotent stem cells in your bone marrow.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo they can't because they are anucleate, meaning they don't have a nucleus, the structure responsible for mitosis.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo, because red blood cells do not have nucleus. All red blood cells are made in the bone marrow of long bones.

∙ 14y agoyes of course, the better quesion is how frequent
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBy Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. (PMAT)

∙ 10y agoNo, after the WBCs have been produced in the bone marrow and matured in the thymus, they are non-mitotic cells with a set lifespan. They are eventually degraded in the spleen.

What are the three types of cells that do not undergo mitosis?
Nerve cells, Red blood cells and cells from cornea of the eye balls.
What types of cells in your body undergo mitosis?
all of them. that is how your body replenishes the dead cells, such as your dead skin cells that fall off your skin daily.
What is the type of adult human cell usually does not reproduce itself by mitosis?
Most Neurons, and Epithelial cells surrounding the egg.
Where in your body does mitosis occur most often?
mitosis occurs most often in the skin where cells die frequently and blood since red blood cells die everyday. Areas such as the brain where cells last way longer and don't get damaged is where mitosis occurs the least
Are blood cells produced by mitosis or meiosis?
No. Meiosis is when a cell produces a haploid, which is a cell with only half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis is only used for making cells used for reproduction. Red blood cells are created by mitosis, which is when cells make two copies of themselves and split into two identical cells.
What are the three types of cells that do not undergo mitosis?
Nerve cells, Red blood cells and cells from cornea of the eye balls.
How do red blood cells undergo mitosis if when they are mature they do not contain a nucleus?
Red blood cells actually don't go through mitosis, for that very reason. Instead, they are produced by other cells inside the bone marrow.
Why do red blood cells skip mitosis?
Erythrocytes are produced by differentiation from stem cells in the bone marrow and lose their nucleus within several hours of being released into the blood stream, therefore losing the ability to reproduce by mitosis.
What cells undergo mitosis in humans?
The cell in the body that is most often in the stages of mitosis are skin cells, as they are the ones that the body loses the most of.
What types of cells in your body undergo mitosis?
all of them. that is how your body replenishes the dead cells, such as your dead skin cells that fall off your skin daily.
Can all cells in an adult undergo mitotic division at any given time?
No, not all cells are capable of mitotic division in an adult. Certain types of cells, called permanent cells (eg. heart muscle cells and brain cells) can not undergo mitosis in an adult. Another type of cell that cannot undergo mitosis is the mammalian red blood cell - which has no nucleus so cannot divide.
Do all cells undergo mitosis division?
Yes, ALL cells undergo cell division. Because if there were types of cells that don't undergo cell division, these cells' specialization wouldn't be able to grow or be replaced. For example if hair cells didn't undergo cell division; your hair wouldn't be able to grow. NO!! Nerve cells,Red blood cells..they don't undergo cell division.
What cells do not continually go through mitosis?
Red Blood Cells.
What is the type of adult human cell usually does not reproduce itself by mitosis?
Most Neurons, and Epithelial cells surrounding the egg.
Why is oxygen important to your blood?
The main function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen to cells to they can undergo respiration.
What are the two kind of cells?
Well there's the kind that keep prisoners in the prison and away from people. Or there's the cells as in the ones that make up you. Or if you're talking about blood, there's red and white blood cells. _____________________________________________________________________ There are plant and animal cells
When red blood cells draws in water and bursts it is said to undergo?
hemolysis
