Red blood cells lose their nucleus at maturity. It is kicked out, lost or nuked (depending how you want to call it) to make more room for hemoglobin. The nucleus makes as much as possible, packs it in tight and then is lost. Because the nucleus is gone, the cell can not repair itself and will get tattered and rather worn out in about 120 days. It will be recycled.

In many cells the structure that controls the cells activitie is the?
Nucleus
Are nucleus made of cells?
no nucleus is INSIDE cells
Do lizards have a nucleus in their cells?
Yes, all cells have a nucleus.
Another name for cells that do not have a nucleus?
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus
What do not have a nucleus?
Every cell has a nucleus and every living thing is made up of cells. But, rocks and other non-living things are not made up of cells, so they have no nucleus.
Which of the following types of blood cells does not have a nucleus at maturity?
red blood cells
What are cells that do not have a nucleus and why?
RBCs (Red Blood Cells) don't have a nucleus. They initially have a nucleus to start with but lose it during maturation. All cells require a nucleus to be formed.
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?"
What are cells with no nucleas called?
Prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane bound nucleus. They do have a nuclear area. Additionally, the mature human red blood cell lacks a nucleus. It excruded it's cell upon maturity. This allows it to carry more hemoglobin.
Can an atom lose its nucleus?
Atoms can lose part of their nucleus, but they can't lose their whole nucleus.
In many cells the structure that controls the cells activitie is the?
Nucleus
Why some cells change during life span?
this mostly happens with multi-cellular organisms and red blood cells. Red blood cells lose their nucleus.
What structure is missing from the red blood cell that is found in most other cells?
Red blood cells that lose their nucleus also lose their mitochondria. It is an adaptation of the red blood cells in order to carry more oxygen and transport the oxygen to the different parts of the body.
What type of cells contain a nucleus?
The cells of eukaryotes will contain a nucleus.
Which organelle is the control centre of the cell why?
The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It contains DNA which are the instructions for the cell. ** The nucleus is the control centre of the cell because cells whose nuclei have been removed lose their functions, but cells with a nucleus transplanted from a different cell take on the characteristics of the cell from which the nucleus was taken.
How do red blood cells differ from other cells in its ability to synthesize protein?
RBC do not contain nucleus at the maturity hence are unable to synthesise protein they also lack Golgi bodies and other cell components
Are nucleus made of cells?
no nucleus is INSIDE cells
