Answer:
Iron-deficiency anemia: insufficient iron intake due to hemorrhage or condition of slow bleeding such as bleeding hemorrhoids.

Folic acid deficiency anemia: a condition in which insufficient amounts of folic acid are available for DNA synthesis, preventing maturation of blood cells.

Aplastic anemia: a condition resulting from an insult to the hematopoietic cells (stem cells) in the bone marrow.

Sickle cell anemia: chronic hereditary hemolytic form of anemia, in the United States found primarily in African-Americans.
