Why would it be an advantage for the red blood cells to have no nucleus?

1.The absence of nucleus gives space for rbc to accommodates its huge haemoglobin
2.further it is also responsible for biconcave shape of rbcs which helps it to squeeze through the narrow capillaries.

∙ 14y agoRed blood cells are anucleated to allow more space to accomodate incoming oxygen and outgoing carbon dioxide inside. They are produced without a nucleus.

∙ 12y agoWithout a nucleus, the cell cannot divide. The significance, then, is that red blood cells do not divide, i.e. they do not replicate and grow.

Which of the following would be produced by meiosis red blood cell cells of the stem in plants sperm cell or epithelial cell?
Meiosis would produce sperm cells and epithelial cells in plants. Red blood cells do not undergo meiosis, as they lack a nucleus and are not capable of dividing.
Does human blood cells have nucleus?
Yes, white blood cells do have nucleus. White blood cells are mainly of six types and each have a differently shaped nucleus.Granulocytes:Neutrophil - 3-4 lobed nucleusEosinophil - bilobed nucleusbasophil - partially constricted to 2 lobesLymphocyte - one large nucleusMonocyte - one kidney shaped nucleusMacrophage - one round nucleusnuclei and nucleus are the same but the nucleus is a pural, and yes white blood cell does have a nuclei that contain at least different kinds of shapes of nucleus:1> Neutrophil - 3-4 lobed nucleus2> Eosinophil - bilobed nucleus3> basophil - partially constricted to 2 lobes4> Lymphocyte - one large nucleus5> Monocyte - one kidney shaped nucleus6> Macrophage - one round nucleus
What cell controls the center of the cells?
Nucleus
Why can't red blood cells produce repair enzymes?
Red blood cells lose their nucleus when they mature, along with all their DNA. As such they cannot make any new proteins or enzymes once they mature, and would not have any DNA repair enzymes.
Where is the nucleus find within the cell?
Normally, for most cells the nucleus would be found in the center, and all cells have a nucleus, which contains DNA on chromosomes
Would a cell die without a nucleus and nucleolus?
Red blood cells have no nucleus or nuceolus.
What animal cell has no nucleus?
Red blood cells would be a common example.
What is the major difference of a red blood cell and a white blood cell?
The biggest difference is that a red blood cell has no nucleus where as a white blood cell does. A red blood cell has no nucleus because it needs all the space inside the cell for the haemoglobin which is stored inside it and is the oxygen attrcting chemical. White blood cells can have either a bean shaped nucleus which would make it a lymphocyte or a double lobed nucleus which would make it a phagocyte. Another difference is that white blood cells are bigger than red blood cells.
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.
Why do you extract DNA from white blood cells rather than from red blood cells?
The only DNA in blood would be the DNA contained in white blood cells as red blood cells have no nucleus and therefore no DNA.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/How_do_you_extract_DNA_from_blood#ixzz1TMsImbnt
Which part of a blood cell is used for DNA profiling?
The DNA in the nucleus, although this would need to be a white blood cell as red blood cells have no nucleus, instead using the space to store oxygen.
Do red blood cells have centriole in?
My guess is no. Because a red blood cells do not have a nucleus in it and does not reproduce, centriole would have no purpose in it, because it does not need to be part of making spindles.
Do all cell almost have nucleus?
They don't. The nucleus is only present in eukaryotic cells. (Animal Cell) Prokaryotic cells don't have nuclei. (Bacteria)
Are there cells with no nucleus?
Yes, there are cells with no nucleus. However they have shorter life spans
What would happen if you tried to make a karyotype from isolated mature red blood cells?
You must be in genetics lab... Red blood cells do not have a nucleus therefore a karyotype cannot be assembled. The chromosomal preparations cannot be performed on the red blood cells. Thus, the reason they use white blood cells.
Which of the following would be produced by meiosis red blood cell cells of the stem in plants sperm cell or epithelial cell?
Meiosis would produce sperm cells and epithelial cells in plants. Red blood cells do not undergo meiosis, as they lack a nucleus and are not capable of dividing.
What are the road map for cells and the cells what to do?
That would be the nucleus.
