Answer 1

Answer:

The type of anemia seen in severe folate deficiency is characterized by large and immature blood cells. This type of anemia is called ____megaloblastic _, _____ anemia.

Explanation:

Anemia appears when the amount of red blood cells in the body decreases, more precisely the amount of hemoglobin contained in them. There are different types of anemia, including iron deficiency (iron deficiency), megaloblastic (vitamin B12 or folate deficiency). In this last type, the red blood cells become larger (macrocytic) from there the term megaloblastic. It occurs in this case by having hypovitaminosis, a defect in the synthesis of DNA. Some of the symptoms are: tiredness, fatigue, paleness, headaches, paleness, shortness of breath, among others.
