Answer 1

Answer: It is called Megaloblastic Anemia.

Megaloblastic anemia is a condition in which the blast cells in the bone marrow produces very large, unusual and abnormal red blood cells called megaloblasts. This is caused by either deficiency of Vitamin B12 or folate. The bone marrow is the spongy material that produces red blood cells, white blood cells and marrows.
