Reticulocyte
Because they are unable to make repairs to themselves
Anucleate means without a nucleus. Red blood cells are called anucleate because they don't have any nuclei.
They are anucleate cells. Note that only mammals have anucleate red blood cells.

Anucleated refers to a condition where a cell lacks a nucleus. The nucleus is the central part of a cell that contains genetic material (such as DNA) and plays a crucial role in cell function and regulation. Anucleated cells are typically found in specific contexts, such as mature red blood cells (erythrocytes), which lose their nucleus during development to make more space for hemoglobin and oxygen transport
erythrocytes and leukocytes (thank my IMPOSSIBLE ap bio test for providing this answer)
anucleate
Erythrocytes, or red blood corpuscles, are indeed enucleate . . . that is, have no nuclei. They need the room for all the hemoglobin that they can carry. It also means that they can only live for about 120 days.
