If DNA is made in the nucleus of a cell where is the nucleus in our blood?

Assuming the question is about red blood cells, the nucleus is no where. DNA is not necessary for red blood cells, their only function is to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide for and from cellular respiration, respectively. Since DNA is necessary mostly for cell division, red blood cells don't have it. Instead of dividing they are replaced on a regular basis. Red blood cells are instead manufactured in bone marrow. White blood cells contain their own set of DNA for division.
