The most common example of an anucleated (nucleus-lacking) cell is a mature mammalian erythrocyte (red blood cell). Erythrocytes also lack mitochondria. This causes them to be short-lived. They are specialized solely to facilitate the transport of oxygen to bodily cells, and carbon dioxide away from them, via hemoglobin.
