"During normal cell division, each daughter cell receives half the DNA," comments Lodish. "In this case, when the red blood cell divides, one daughter cell gets all the DNA. What's fascinating is that in this case, that daughter cell gets eaten by macrophages. Until now, scientists were unable to study these cells because they were unable to see them."

What else can I help you with?
Which cells in the body do not have a nucleus?
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, do not have a nucleus. This lack of a nucleus allows them to have more space to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
At what stages do red blood cells have a nucleus?
Red blood cells have nucleus's all throughout Interphase as well as at the end of Telophase during/after Cytokenesis.
What blood cell is able to reproduce in the circulatory system?
White blood cells can reproduce in the bloodstream, because they have a nucleus, unlike the red blood cells, which lack a nucleus, and are produced in their millions by the bone marrow.
What 2 things do red cells lack compared to white cells?
Red blood cells lack a nucleus and organelles, such as mitochondria, which are present in white blood cells. This allows red blood cells to have more space to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide through the bloodstream efficiently.
When do red blood cells lose their nucleus?
Then, congratulations, you're living in the real world, where human red blood cells do not, in fact, have nuclei (the red blood cells of some species do have nuclei, but those of humans do not). You've essentially asked "What if the sky were blue?"
Do Rats blood cells contain a nucleus?
Yes, rat blood cells contain a nucleus, but this is primarily true for their white blood cells (leukocytes). In contrast, rat red blood cells (erythrocytes) are anucleate, meaning they do not have a nucleus, similar to those of many other mammals. This adaptation allows for more space to carry hemoglobin and thus increases the efficiency of oxygen transport in the bloodstream.
Do human red blood cells contain cytoplasm?
No, mature human red blood cells do not have a nucleus or organelles like cytoplasm. They are essentially bags of hemoglobin that transport oxygen in the bloodstream.
What is the difference between NRBCs and Reticuloytes?
NRBCs (nucleated red blood cells) are immature red blood cells that still contain a nucleus, typically seen in the blood of infants or in certain medical conditions. Reticulocytes are also immature red blood cells, but they have lost their nucleus. Reticulocytes are released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream to eventually mature into erythrocytes (mature red blood cells).
Why red blood cells have no nucleus but still they called cell?
Red blood cells lose their nucleus as they mature in order to make space for more hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen. Even without a nucleus, they are still considered cells because they have a cell membrane and other cellular components necessary for their function of transporting oxygen in the bloodstream.
Do fish have nuclei in their red blood cells?
No, fish typically do not have nuclei in their red blood cells. Most mature fish red blood cells are enucleated, meaning they do not contain a nucleus. This allows for more efficient oxygen transport in their bloodstream.
What type of cells lack a nucleus?
This is a biology question, but the answer is Prokaryotic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Red blood cells also lack a nucleus.
What is the only cell in the human body that doesn't have a nucleus?
Mature red blood cells are the only human cells that do not have a nucleus. sorry to do this but that's not the answer but i don't know it
