Red Blood Cells are made in the red bone marrow and have a life cycle within which their roles and properties change over time. As Red Blood Cells age, their outer proteins change, making them recognizable to phagocytes, whose role is to destroy, digest, and remove old cells. This is the natural cycle involved. Taking a step back, the changes in the cell membrane of the red blood cell mean that it can no longer do its job of taking up hemoglobin.

Mature red blood cells do not have nucleus in them. Nucleus contains the chromosomes. With out the chromosomes, you can not have cell division, in your body. ( You have about 25 trillion red blood cells in your body. You have about 100 trillion cells, in your body. That means one forth cells in your body can not undergo cell division.)
Red blood cells lack a nucleus for extra space to store hemoglobin. Since they don't go through mitosis they are constantly being made in bone marrow.
Because they don't have nucleus, where the DNA is kept, which is necessary for cell division.
Mature red blood cells do not have a nucleus, therefore they cannot reproduce by mitotic cell division or any other process.
Because they lack a nucleus.Only mammals' RBC lack a nucleus.
The bone marrow is unable to develop a normal amount of mature blood cells, and is also not able to increase blood cell production when mature cells are needed
No, it cannot divide since mature red blood cells have no nucleus. there are no chromosomes to replicate.
To undergo blood testing one would need to fast for a specified amount of time as ordered by their doctor, avoid smoking prior to the blood test and only drink water.
Hemoglobin Molecules
An erythrocyte is a mature red blood cell.
Yes, ALL cells undergo cell division. Because if there were types of cells that don't undergo cell division, these cells' specialization wouldn't be able to grow or be replaced. For example if hair cells didn't undergo cell division; your hair wouldn't be able to grow. NO!! Nerve cells,Red blood cells..they don't undergo cell division.
Mature blood cells do not have a nucleus. Without this genetic material, the cells are unable to synthesize proteins.
The bone marrow is unable to develop a normal amount of mature blood cells, and is also not able to increase blood cell production when mature cells are needed
The mature red blood cell lacks a nucleus, and so is unable to reproduce.
Mature red blood cells do not contain mitochondria so they are unable to carry out aerobic metabolism.
Red blood cells actually don't go through mitosis, for that very reason. Instead, they are produced by other cells inside the bone marrow.
No, not all cells are capable of mitotic division in an adult. Certain types of cells, called permanent cells (eg. heart muscle cells and brain cells) can not undergo mitosis in an adult. Another type of cell that cannot undergo mitosis is the mammalian red blood cell - which has no nucleus so cannot divide.
Yes, mature erythrocytes are still cells and are still living. In most mammals the circulating red blood cells do not have nuclei, so they are unable to repair themselves when damaged and eventually die due to the accumulated damage.
No. Mature red blood cells have neither a nucleus nor chromosomes.
No, cell division does not occur at the same rate in skin cells as in blood cells. Skin cells undergo continuous division, as they need to constantly replace old and damaged cells, while blood cells have shorter life spans and go through more rapid and frequent division to maintain an adequate supply in the bloodstream.
No, it cannot divide since mature red blood cells have no nucleus. there are no chromosomes to replicate.
In general, those cells are just called amitotic. If you're looking for specific examples things like neurons, cardiac muscle tissue, red blood cells.
