The absence of nucleus in RBC is an adaptation that allows it to contain more haemoglobin and carry more oxygen by providing empty space. This adaptation also aids in effective diffusion of oxygen.
RBCs are initially produced in bone marrow with a nucleus. They, then undergo enucleation at maturity , in which their nucleus is removed.
