Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Any system in the body that depends on replacement of cells with new ones will be affected by a deficiency of vitamin B12 or folate. Symptoms of the deficiency can thus be seen in the gastrointestinal tract, the skin, and the hematopoietic system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Iron deficiency is associated with microcytic, not macrocytic, red cells. All the other conditions listed can be associated with macrocytic red cells.
