prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

all the cells of our bodies are eukaryotic, but red blood cells when mature and released into our blood stream no longer have a nucleus, therefore do not have any DNA. I
In a prokaryotic cell the DNA isn't contained in a membranious organelle, but is jusst free floating in the cytoplasm

Eukaryotic. They have a nucleus, but lose it.
Sorry to correct Amar, but the precursor to a red blood cell is an erythroblast. A reticulocyte is just a slightly immature form of red blood cell. Already without a nucleus.

eukaryotes. - they loose their nucleus during development. Lifespan of 120 days. Cannot replicate. RBC arise in red bone marrow. The precursor of RBC is called a reticulocyte.

Red Blood Cells(RBC) are biconcave discs having no nucleus so it is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic.

Red blood cells are neither prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

De-nucleated eukaryotic.

Ask yourself whether or not a red blood cell has a nucleus. Once you figure that out, you can determine it's classification.

They are neither, During their formation they have a nucleus but when they are fully developed they loose their nucleus making them neither.
