This theory is false. Red blood cells do not contain a nucleus.

Differentiate human red blood cells to a frog red blood cell?

1) Frog's red blood cells contain a nucleus that carries all the genetic information needed to make new cells by replication. Human red blood cells contain no nuclei because they reproduce differently than frog. 2) We human have platelets in our blood but frogs do not have them.


What type of human cells do not contain nuclei?

Red blood cells have no nucleus after they have fully developed. The nucleus is ejected so that there is more room for hemoglobin. That molecule is what carries oxygen.Because there is no nucleus the cell can not repair itself and will die in about 120 days. It's parts will then be recycled.


What organelle is found in frog's blood cells that's not found in human blood cells?

Frog red blood cells contain a nucleus, whereas human red blood cells do not.


How are human red blood cells different from other human cells?

All other cells in the human body are the only type that are prokaryotic, meaning that they do not contain a nucleus, the control center of the cell.


What do resting nucleated human cells contain?

Resting nucleated human cells contain a nucleus, which houses the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA. The nucleus controls cellular activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Additionally, resting cells may also contain other organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes that are important for various cellular functions.


What organisms have cells without nuclei?

Cells that do not contain a "true" nucleus are called prokaryotes. Sometimes eukaryotic cells are anucleate(no nucleus) when mature. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) in mammals are an example of eukaryotic cells that do not contain a nucleus when mature.


Is the nucleus found in all cells?

No. Every living cell of animals, plants, and other eukaryotes contain a single nucleus -- that, in turn, contains the DNA. However, about a quarter of the human cells in the human body are red blood cells, which do not contain a nucleus or DNA. Also, the cells of bacteria and other prokaryotes contain DNA, but do not have a nucleus. (Here "nucleus" implies "biological nucleus", a single organelle inside the cell that contains the DNA. Atomic physicists use the word "nucleus" differently, the clump of protons and neutrons at the center of each atom. Every cell contains water, DNA, and other molecules; the molecules are composed of atoms which each have an atomic nucleus, so there are typically trillions of atoms and therefore trillions of atomic nuclei in each cell).


Whice wbc cells contain in DNA?

Actually DNA is present in the nucleus of each and every cell of the human body.


What kinds of cells has no nucleus?

Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. In the human body, mature erythrocytes (red blood cells) have no nucleus.


Are humans cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic explain?

human bones are eukaryotic cells as they contain well developed nucles.


What human cell is the only one that does not contain a nucleus when it is mature?

red blood cell is the only human cell that does not contain a nucleus


Do human red blood cells contain cytoplasm?

No, mature human red blood cells do not have a nucleus or organelles like cytoplasm. They are essentially bags of hemoglobin that transport oxygen in the bloodstream.
