Answer:

Blood cells cannot replicate themselves.

Step-by-step explanation:

They do not replicate like other bodily cells because they cannot independently process and create proteins. Blood cells are instead formed in the bone marrow of bones. Depending on whether it is RBC or WBC, there are different types of bone marrow for producing that type of blood cell.
