Young nucleated RBCs loses their cell organelles in order to furnish more space for haemoglobin so that they can carry more oxygen. the energy carrier (ATP) required for the survival of mature rbcs is produced by lactic acid fermentation. But they cannot produce energy for long period so they die out in less no. of days i,e. 120 days.
They do not replicate so they do not require DNAs and they circulate in the body with the blood stream so they donot require nucleus too.its like a paper boat floating in the water stream do not require any effort but a ship demands some efoort for its continuation in floating.

You have about 25 trillions of RBC in your blood. They do not have nucleus in them and so no DNA. WBC has a nucleus and contains the DNA.
I don't know what you mean by survive without DNA. DNA is in every single living thing, so the foods that use plants and meat have DNA. Even things like Twinkies have DNA because they use wheat.
Mammalian RBC is always enucleated [Without nucleus] without any EXCEPTION The mammalian RBC is also biconcave and DISCOIDAL except Camel and Llama, which have Oval shaped RBC
Because they dont have a nucleous.
No. An example would be the red blood cell (RBC). It has no nucleus, and therefore has no DNA.
Without RBC the ability of the blood to transport oxygen would be reduced significantly
When isolating DNA from blood, white blood cells (WBC's) are the target. This is because RBC's do not contain a nucleus and therefore do not contain DNA. The function of the lysis buffer is to help in the lysis (or breaking) of white blood cells. WBC's must first be lysed so that the DNA may be released from inside the cell.
It will be colourless if there are no RBCs.
Decreasing the synthesis of DNA molecules.
Cell without nucleus like that of prokaryotes contain nucleoid which contain DNA as a genetic material in it. Some cells in eukaryoutes like in humans RBC's there is no nucleus due to the presence of red colour pigment known as haemoglobin.
hey i was wondering the same thing ya know?
depends on what kind of cell. if you are to say a human red blood cell, then NO. the reason is because that for a cell to survive, it must make proteins, and ribosomes make proteins. the DNA is copied to form copies of how to form protein. sometimes errors may occur offsetting the DNA copy, making it not a protein. also, it seems it is VERY rare for a cell to survive and split without ribosomes
