The correct answer is "megaloblastic anemia".

In the event of deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12, there will be inhibition of DNA synthesis in red blood cell precursors as well as other cells in the myeloid lineage. This results to continuous cell growth without cell division leading to large, immature red blood cells (hence the term megaloblastic) with low hemoglobin levels. Vitamin B12 deficiency particularly causes neuropathic symptoms such as neuropathic pain and numbness.

If megaloblastic anemia is caused by the resection of the portion of stomach that produces the intrinsic factor (important in the absorption of vitamin B12), then the condition is called pernicious anemia.

Which statement describes a common measurement error?
Kitty [74]
Answer – C (Using instruments that have not been calibrated).

When the integrity of an instrument’s calibration has been compromised (usually due to exposure to a shock, vibration, or physical damage), it needs to be calibrated; failure to do this inevitably leads to inaccurate measurement; this is a very common measurement error.

The hormone levels during the menstrual cycle are shown below.what would happen if the hormone levels did not have their peak ju
Vesna [10]

During week 2 of the menstrual cycle (day 8 to day 14 or ovulation), estrogen levels rise until it reaches its peak. Typically, days 12-14 have the highest levels of estrogen, which causes an increase in Luteinizing Hormone, which is responsible for the release of the egg cell. If hormone levels fail to reach its peak before day 14, ovulation is not possible because the egg cannot be released. Pregnancy may be highly unlikely.
