Answer:

False, is known as megaloblastic anemia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Megaloblastic anemia is caused by a deficit of vitamin B12, which the body needs to synthesize red blood cells. As this vitamin is in low concentrations in the body, the red blood cells that the bone marrow produce are oval, bigger and with a shorter life than a normal red blood cell.

Answer:

Megaloblastic anemia is as a result of deficiency of mature red blood cells characterized by red blood cells that are larger than normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Megaloblastic anemia is a type of anemia (blood disorder) resulting from the number of red blood cells being lower than normal. This red blood cells aid in the transportation oxygen round the body. Megaloblastic anemia is as a result of deficiency of mature red blood cells characterized by red blood cells that are larger than normal. It is caused by deficiency in vitamin B-12 or folate which are necessary for producing healthy red blood cells. Since red blood cells are too large, they are not produced properly, as a result oxygen is not distributed properly.
