Unmatured red blood cells have a nucleus. When matued they have no nucleus this gives them more surface area this also make more room for the heamoglobin therefore allowing it to carry more oxygen.

Why we can not extract DNA from RBCs?
We can not extract DNA from RBCs as they are without nucleus. only the source of DNA extraction is Leukocytes, RBCs are not good source of extraction but we can extract DNA from immature RBCs.
What mature cells have a nucleus?
lymphocyte.monocyte ,erythrocyte .neutrophil
Does a parenchyma have a nucleus?
Parenchyma is the bulk of an organ. Cells have nuclei. Organs comprise tissues, which comprise cells, each of which has a nucleus (RBCs excepted.)
How do mature RBCs differ from other cells?
a mature red blood cell doesn't have a nucleus while an immature one does.
What are the differences of the structures of the red blood cells and the bacterial cells?
This is not a very terribly detailed answer, but may give you some research critera: RBCs do not have cell walls, while bacteria do. It is made out of peptidoglycan to give the bacterium structural integrity. RBCs only have a plasma membrane made from the typical double phospholipid bi-layer, which bacteria have in addition to a cell wall. Bacteria have no formed nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles. Similarly, RBCs do not either, but only the mature RBC. In the maturing process, all organelles including, including the nucleus, are lost. Hemoglobin, the functional molecule in the transport of oxygen, takes up most of the entire cell.

Are red blood cells multinucleate?
No RBCs are anucleated they have no nucleus
How do red blood cells lose their nucleus when white blood don't Both RBCs and WBCs are created in the bone RBCs nucleus is squeezed out by the tight fit but WBCs keep theirs Y?
RBCs lose their nucleus for the sole purpose of achieving their bi-concave shape. This shape allows RBCs a greater surface area which helps with the diffusion of many gases into and out of RBCs than lets say a sphere. They not only lack a nucleus but various other organelles which prevent them from carrying on extensive metabolic activities. WBCs keep their nucleus because they have specific jobs of fighting against microbes. They need their nucleus to do their job, while RBC's don't.
What are cells that do not have a nucleus and why?
RBCs (Red Blood Cells) don't have a nucleus. They initially have a nucleus to start with but lose it during maturation. All cells require a nucleus to be formed.

Why the camel has nucleus in its blood cells?
It doesn't, not normally. The normal erythrocyte of any camelid (camels, llamas, alpacas) is oval-shaped with no nucleus. Birds have nucleated, oval-shaped RBCs. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of.
What are the characteristics of the RBC?
Assuming you mean human red blood cells (RBC), there are several "special" things about RBCs. RBCs do not have a nucleus, and they have a distinct shape-biconcave disks. That means they are shaped sort of like a donut, but without an actual hole in the center, just indentations. Sickle-cell anemia, for example, is so named because the RBCs of people with sickle-cell anemia are shaped like sickles. These unusually shaped cells have a harder time moving through the capillaries and transporting oxygen.
What are the advantages and disadvantages to having nucleated red blood cells?
ERYTHROCYTES OR RBCs INTIALLY HAVE NUCLEUS IN THE CELLS BUT LOSE IT DURING MATURATION.THE CHROMATIN MATERIAL IS ABSENT IN THE CELLS AND THUS CAUSE GENETIC PROBLEM.THAT IS THE REASON THEIR LIFESPAN IS LESS[120 DAYS] .THOUGH THEIR IS A CONTINOUS PRODUCT OF RBCs.
How many cells are in a nucleus?
usually one,but some cells may also be e nucleated such as mammalian RBCs,while some may be multinucleated.
Do erythrocytes lack a nucleus?
Erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), are specialized cells used to carry oxygen to the body's cells and transport carbon dioxide away from those cells. It contains a protein called hemoglobin, which allows the cell to carry high concentrations of oxygen. RBCs do not contain a nucleus because they do not have need of one. Also, in order for the cells to be able to fit through the smallest capillaries in the body, the cells have to be kept as small as possible. A nucleus would counteract this goal and could cause sludging of the cells in the small vessels and capillaries.
