Platelets are non-nucleated because they are actually fragments of larger cells called megakaryocytes, which are found in the bone marrow. During their formation, the megakaryocytes undergo a process called endomitosis, where they replicate their DNA without cell division, resulting in large cells that then release small cytoplasmic fragments into the bloodstream. This lack of a nucleus allows platelets to be more flexible and specialized for their primary functions in hemostasis and clot formation. Additionally, their non-nucleated nature contributes to their short lifespan, as they lack the machinery for protein synthesis and cellular repair.

Are platelets comparatively large and nucleated?
No, platelets are relatively small (2-4 microns) and are anucleate.

Simple non-nucleated organisms that use hydrogen to produce methane are in what kingdom?
The simple non-nucleated organisms that use hydrogen to produce methane belong to the Kingdom Archaea.
What is Nucleated Cell Count?
red blood cells that have not lost their nucleus.
Are nucleated glasses usually used for cask ales?
No, nucleated glasses are typically not used for cask ales. Nucleated glasses, which have small etchings to create bubbles and promote carbonation, are more commonly used for carbonated beers and lagers to enhance the drinking experience. Cask ales, on the other hand, are usually served in standard pint glasses or non-nucleated glassware.
What mammal has nucleated red blood cells?
Nearly all non-mammal vertebrates have nucleated red blood cells (nRBC). Non-nucleated RBC's are a unique feature to mammals. There are of course a few notable exceptions, such as the artiodactyl order, which have an odd blood morphology.
Why are all living things composed of nucleated cells?
Not all are. Many biologists believe that bacteria are alive, and they do not have a nucleus. Also, though there is some debate, viruses are also sometimes considered alive, and not only do they not have a nucleus, they do not even have a plasma membrane. The definition of what is alive and what is not is quite complex and goes beyond nucleated cells called eucaryotes and non-nucleated cells called procaryotes.The red blood cells in your body are not nucleated.
