A red blood cell. Scientific name, Erythrocyte
What else can I help you with?
Can a mature red blood cell divide?
No, mature red blood cells cannot divide.
What are the cell structures of a red blood cell?
It is biconcave in shape , mature red blood cell do not have nucleus,
What is unique about the red blood cell in terms of the nucleas and DNA?
A mature red blood cell does not have a nucleus or DNA.
What are erythrocyte prevalence?
a mature red blood cell
What the name of a mature red blood cell?
erythrocytes
Would you expect to get a positive DNA test in a mature red blood cell?
No, mature red blood cells do not contain a nucleus or DNA. They lose their DNA as they mature to better accommodate their main function of carrying oxygen. Therefore, a DNA test on a mature red blood cell would be negative.
What is the difference between a reticulate red blood cell and nucleated red blood cell?
A reticulate red blood cell, or reticulocyte, is an immature red blood cell. In mammals, reticulocytes do not have a nucleus. They are slightly larger and appear more blue in colour (with standard stain) than mature red blood cells. A nucleated red blood cell is one which contains a nucleus. Mature mammalian red blood cells do not have a nucleus. In mammals, nucleated red blood cells are more immature than reticulocytes - and are not normally seen in peripheral circulation. They can be a sign of anaemia if seen on a blood smear. Birds and reptiles have nucleated mature red blood cells.
When blood cell lose their genetic material?
Till the pre-erythrocyte stage you have the nucleus in red blood cells. It is shed to get the mature red blood cell.
What organelle would be missing in a mature red blood cell?
Mature red blood cells do not have a nucleus, as it is expelled during their development. This lack of a nucleus allows the red blood cells to have more space to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently.
What cell has no nuclues?
Mature human red blood cells have no nucleus.
Does the mature red blood cell have two nuclei?
As red blood cells gradually become filled with hemoglobin, their nuclei and other organelles are forced out. Thus, mature red blood cells do not have nuclei.
Can a mature red blood cell divide?
No, mature red blood cells do not have a nucleus or organelles required for cell division. They are produced in the bone marrow from stem cells but lose their nucleus during development, making them unable to divide.
