In which cell of human body, the nucleus is not present?
A.Muscle cell
B.Phagocyte cell
C.Red blood cell✓ Correct
D.Ciliated cell
Explanation
Mature mammalian red blood cells (erythrocytes) lack a nucleus. During their maturation in the bone marrow, the nucleus is extruded to maximise the cell's capacity to carry haemoglobin and thus oxygen. This also gives them their characteristic biconcave disc shape. Muscle cells, phagocytes and ciliated epithelial cells all retain nuclei.
