Yes. Without nuclei, cells have no genes, no ability to synthesize proteins, and therefore to carry out their basic biological functions. All red blood cells ultimately derive from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) that are located within the bone marrow. The HSCs have nuclei and spawn several kinds of progenitor cells that each give rise to the various types of blood cells. In the RBC lineage, just before the mature RBC is formed, the nucleus is expelled.
