The correct response is:
**Neurons contain DNA, but red blood cells do not.**
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are unique in that they lose their nucleus and most organelles as they mature, making them unable to divide or produce proteins. On the other hand, neurons retain their DNA and have a complex structure suited for transmitting signals in the nervous system.
