Red blood cells (RBCs) lack a nucleus to maximize their capacity for carrying oxygen. The absence of a nucleus allows for more space to accommodate hemoglobin, the protein responsible for oxygen transport. This adaptation enhances the efficiency of RBCs in delivering oxygen to tissues throughout the body. Additionally, the lack of a nucleus prevents RBCs from dividing, which is suited to their specific role in the circulatory system.
