The correct response is: Neurons contain DNA, but red blood cells do not.
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) lose their nucleus and other organelles during maturation, which is why they do not contain DNA. In contrast, neurons retain their organelles and contain DNA, which is essential for their function and maintenance.
