Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Iron deficiency anemia is microcytic. Vitamin B12 deficiency is macrocytic; sickle cell anemia and hereditary spherocytosis are both normocytic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The anemia found in liver disease is macrocytic, but it is not megaloblastic. The large red cells result because of membrane changes because of disruption of the cholesterol to phospholipids ratio (in the membrane).
