As RBCs mature they lose their?
A
color
B
nuclei
C
shape
D
size
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Losing the nucleus enables the red blood cell to contain more oxygen-carrying hemoglobin, thus enabling more oxygen to be transported in the blood and boosting our metabolism. Scientists have struggled to understand the mechanism by which maturing red blood cells eject their nuclei.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of the terminal maturation, mammalian erythroblasts expel their nuclei and lose all their organelles, such as the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria and ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your bone marrow makes most of your red blood cells. Once they’re fully mature, they’re released into your bloodstream, where they transport oxygen throughout your body. Problems with erythropoiesis can result in anemia, a condition that involves not having enough red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Quantifying physical changes in red blood cells as they mature in the bloodstream. Summary: During their approximately 100-day lifespan in the bloodstream, red blood cells lose membrane surface area, volume, and hemoglobin content.

Detailed explanation-5: -Red blood cells, vessel, sieve tube cells all lose their nucleus at maturity. Nuclei of companion cells control the metabolic activities of sieve tube elements that are devoid of a nucleus.
