Answer:
The fact that mature red blood cells expel their nuclei, to expand their surface area and transport oxygen, can demonstrate that they cannot live very long.
Explanation:
The absence of a nucleus in mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) means that it has no genetic material and is unable to synthesize proteins to repair itself. This means a relatively short half-life for these cells.
A mature red blood cell circulates in the blood and performs its function for about 90 to 120 days, after which it is eliminated.
Regarding the other options:
<em> B. Red blood cells can live more than 24 hours.</em>
<em> C. The absence of a nucleus in erythrocytes does not indicate any relationship with cancer.</em>
<em> D. Although they do not have mitochondria, erythrocytes can obtain ATP by glucose glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation. Even so, it is not related to the lack of nucleus</em>
