Erythrocytes are produced by differentiation from stem cells in the bone marrow and lose their nucleus within several hours of being released into the blood stream, therefore losing the ability to reproduce by mitosis.

How do red blood cells undergo mitosis if when they are mature they do not contain a nucleus?
Red blood cells actually don't go through mitosis, for that very reason. Instead, they are produced by other cells inside the bone marrow.
What cells undergo mitosis in humans?
The cell in the body that is most often in the stages of mitosis are skin cells, as they are the ones that the body loses the most of.
What cell transports oxygen?
red blood cells
What is the major difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
How red blood cells get replaced?
The old red blood cells get replaced by the newly formed red blood cells.
What cells do not continually go through mitosis?
Red Blood Cells.
How do red blood cells undergo mitosis if when they are mature they do not contain a nucleus?
Red blood cells actually don't go through mitosis, for that very reason. Instead, they are produced by other cells inside the bone marrow.
What are the three types of cells that do not undergo mitosis?
Nerve cells, Red blood cells and cells from cornea of the eye balls.
Where in your body does mitosis occur most often?
mitosis occurs most often in the skin where cells die frequently and blood since red blood cells die everyday. Areas such as the brain where cells last way longer and don't get damaged is where mitosis occurs the least
Are blood cells produced by mitosis or meiosis?
No. Meiosis is when a cell produces a haploid, which is a cell with only half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis is only used for making cells used for reproduction. Red blood cells are created by mitosis, which is when cells make two copies of themselves and split into two identical cells.
What cells undergo mitosis in humans?
The cell in the body that is most often in the stages of mitosis are skin cells, as they are the ones that the body loses the most of.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Do red blood cells undergo mitosis?
mitosis is a type of nuclear division, that is to say the nucleus of the cell devides. red blood cells have no nucleus so cant undergo mitosis. cytokenesis is when one cell splints into two. if a red blood cell were to undergo cytokenesis (even though it doesnt have the cellular machinary to do this) it would be half the size and have half as much heamaglobin as before, with no way to get back to the size it is 'supposed' to be and no way to generate more heamaglobin.
What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
What cell transports oxygen?
red blood cells
What is the major difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
Does every part of the body have red blood cells?
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
