Why do red blood cells not have a nucleus

Health

evablogger [386]3 years ago

Because of the lack of nuclei and organelles, mature red blood cells do not contain DNA and cannot synthesize any RNA, and consequently cannot divide and have limited repair capabilities.

The inability to carry out protein synthesis means that no virus can evolve to target mammalian red blood cells.

It simply allows the red blood cell to have more hemoglobin. The more hemoglobin you have, the more oxygen molecules you can carry. Therefore, it allows RBC to transfer more oxygen.

Lack of nucleus in RBC also allows the cell to have an unique bi concave shape that helps with diffusion

Answer:It allows the red blood cell to contain more haemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen molecules. It also allows the cell to have its distinctive bi-concave shape which aids diffusion. This shape would not be possible if the cell had a nucleus in the way.

Describe how AIDS is treated and explain how the outlook for AIDS patients has changed over the years. What efforts are being ma
Leona [35]

Answer:

Acquired immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a syndrome caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Up till today, there is not a proper cure for the syndrome but specific drugs can be given to the patient to control or reduce the  virus in the patient. Some of the medicines used are:

Lamivudine (Epivir, 3TC), Tenofovir (Viread, TDF), Abacavir (Ziagen, ABC), Indinavir (Crixivan, IDV) etc.

The treatment of AIDS is nowadays far better than the initial years in which AIDS became common. Scientists could not make medicines for reducing the HIV virus and also did not know how this virus spread from one person to another.

In the near future, scientists are working hard to produce vaccines for developing immunity against the virus and also looking for genetic engineering methods to treat AIDS.

How common are eating disorders and what are some long-term consequencses
harina [27]
I guess you could say eating disorders are common. In my opinion it just depends on the location one is in. For example, African villages don't get much food, therefore it's common over there. That being said, some long-term consequences may be hurting your overall health. Hope this helped!
