what kinds of illnesses could be effectively treated with a bone marrow transplant?
a. illnesses where the body has trouble making new blood cells
b. illnesses where the body has trouble controlling the nervous system
c. illnesses where the body has trouble making new hormones
d. illnesses involving vision problems

Explanation:

Bone marrow is responsible for producing blood cells. A bone marrow transplant replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells to restore blood cell production. Conditions like leukemia (cancer of blood - forming tissues) and aplastic anemia (where bone marrow fails to produce enough new blood cells) are examples. The transplant helps the body make new blood cells properly. Options B (nervous system control), C (hormone production), and D (vision problems) are not related to the function of bone marrow in blood cell production.

Answer:

A. Illnesses where the body has trouble making new blood cells
