White blood cells carry genetic information. In mammals mature red blood cells do not have DNA because they do not have nuclei. They expel them during the maturation process. However, in birds and reptiles they have nucleated red blood cells. Thus reptile and bird red blood cells do contain DNA.

What cells would I use to extract DNA from a living person?
Any cells can be used as you will find DNA in almost all of them (a few exceptions are red blood cells, platelets, etc.) but even where one specific cell in a tissue has no DNA many adjacent cells in the sample will have DNA.
Sources of DNA that could be used in DNA forensic analysis?
DNA comes from the nuclei of cells. Any tissue or specimen containing cells or cellular material is likely to contain DNA.
Do prions contain DNA or RNA?
Prions are an infectious particle made of protein. They do not contain DNA or RNA.
How is chromosomes related to DNA?
Chromosomes house DNA, and they both can be found in the nucleus of any cell.
How much DNA is in white blood cells?
There is as much DNA in white blood cells as any other cell. There is none in red blood cells.
Do any cells contain less or no DNA content?
Yes, there is one type of cell which does not contain DNA, and that is the red blood cell.

Do metals cell have DNA?
DNA doesn't contain any metal. And metals don't have cells

How much DNA is in white blood cells?
There is as much DNA in white blood cells as any other cell. There is none in red blood cells.
What cells carry DNA?
The main cells in your body that contain DNA and RNA are your skin cells. This is because skin cells hold more then the DNA to skin. The DNA in skin also tells a person's eye color, height, hair color and bone structure. RNA in any cell is used to transfer any messages from one cell to another.
In which cell is the chromosomes located?
Most somatic cells and all gametes. (red blood cells do not contain a nucleus or any major organelle and therefore do not carry DNA and are not able to synthesize RNA, however during the early stages of red blood cell production in the marrow even they have DNA)
Can they get DNA from fecal material?
Any secretion of you body that may contain cells of your body can be used to extract DNA.
Which cell don't have mitochondria in them?
RPCProkariyotic cells do not have any.Some eukariyotic cells like mammalian RBC lack mitochondria
What organism doe not contain DNA?
None! If Any Did NOT Then They Would Be Completely Untraceable Even To Human And Technology Standards.
