All cells have a purpose. If they don't do anything productive, they are not needed anymore. In the big picture, a cell's purpose is much more important than acting as small organizational pieces. They had their purpose long before they started working together in groups and building more advanced organisms. When alone, a cell's main purpose is to survive.

What are the unique characteristics and functions of a human cell that lacks a nucleus?

A human cell without a nucleus is called anucleate. These cells are typically red blood cells, which lack a nucleus to make more space for carrying oxygen. Without a nucleus, anucleate cells cannot replicate or repair themselves, but they have more room for their main function of transporting oxygen throughout the body.

How are the function of prokaryotes cells controlled without a nucleus?

The nucleus's main function is to hold the DNA. Prokaryotic cells do have the DNA but it is not surrounded by a membrane that separates it from the rest of the cell so the DNA just floats around in the region called nucleiod instead of being confined inside a nucleus.

Do animals have a cell nucleus?

Yes, they have a nucleus. Without a nucleus, cells wouldn't be able to function, and that means we wouldn't be able to function, which means all animals would be dead if their cells didn't have a nucleus. The only animal cell without a nucleus is the red blood cell.
