Red blood cells can not reproduce because they do not have a nucleus like all other cells. Red blood cells last at least 3-4 months. When they are destroyed, heme (consisting of iron) is released; the iron is used to reproduce red blood cells.

Red blood cells can reproduce themselves?
All cells are born with a nucleus, but not the red blood cell. Without the large structure in the cell, it can carry more oxygen. But without a nucleus, it cannot reproduce and will die eventually. A red blood cell's life span is about 3-4 months. After that, it will be sent to the liver to be destroyed.When red blood cells are destroyed they release heme, a prosthetic group, that consists of iron. Iron is used to reproduce red blood cells in bone marrow. Red blood cells usually are reproduced in bone marrow.
