Here are some differences between mature red blood cells (RBCs) and reticulocytes in a tabular form:

| Mature RBCs | Reticulocytes |
|-------------|---------------|
| Fully matured and functional red blood cells | Immature red blood cells |
| Lack a nucleus and other organelles | Contain remnants of ribosomes and other organelles |
| Biconcave disc shape | Slightly larger and more spherical shape |
| Lifespan of approximately 120 days | Lifespan of around 1-2 days |
| Do not contain RNA | Contain residual RNA |
| Cannot divide or replicate | Capable of division and maturation into mature RBCs |
| Higher oxygen-carrying capacity due to hemoglobin content | Lower oxygen-carrying capacity compared to mature RBCs |
| Predominant cell type in the bloodstream | Present in small numbers in the bloodstream |
| Produced in the bone marrow | Released into the bloodstream from the bone marrow |
| Used for oxygen and carbon dioxide transport | Indicate the rate of RBC production and bone marrow activity |
| Stain uniformly with Wright's stain | Stain slightly bluish-gray due to residual RNA |

These are some of the key differences between mature RBCs and reticulocytes.
