Red blood cells do not have a nucleus in order for them to be able to carry more oxygen. The only thing they do is transport oxygen, therefore they do not need a nucleus. They do not lose any ability because their only purpose is oxygen transport.

Does mature mammalian RBC have RNA?

No. As part of the RBC maturation process in mammals, the red blood cells loses its nucleus and is no longer able to synthesize RNA. Immature RBC's, called reticulocytes, do still have small amounts of RNA. However, it is atypical to see more then 1% in a healthy blood smear.

What does a reticulocyte have to do to become an erythrocyte?

A reticulocyte needs to mature by shedding its ribosomes and becoming a fully developed erythrocyte in order to function as an oxygen-carrying red blood cell. This process takes about 1-2 days in the bone marrow before the reticulocyte is released into the bloodstream as a mature red blood cell.

What is the red marrow used to make?

It is an important component of Erythropoiesis, or erythrocyte formation. In the life cycle of the red blood cell, it is actually a reticulocyte that leaves the bone marrow and circulates for a day or so until it loses its rRNA and becomes a mature red blood cell, or erythrocyte.

What kind of decay takes place when an isotope loses an electron?

If the isotope loses the electron from its nucleus it is called beta decay. However it did not really lose the electron, as the electron never existed in the nucleus prior to the beta decay event happening. Beta decay that generates an electron happens when a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino: the proton usually remains in the nucleus, while the electron and neutrino (which is nearly impossible to detect, but it is always generated) are ejected from the nucleus at high velocity.If the isotope loses the electron from its electron shells it is not any type of decay, it is simple ionization of the atom.
