Bone marrow is a tissue found inside the bones. In adult humans, marrow in some bones such as the pelvis, sternum and femur produces new blood cells.
There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red bone marrow is mainly consisted of myeloid tissue, while the yellow marrow is consisted of fat cells. Of course, when someone is born, all marrow is red. Eventually, some of it gets converted into yellow marrow. Red and most of the white blood cells are produced in red marrow, while a part of the while blood cells is produced in yellow marrow. In the case of need, yellow marrow can be converted into red marrow in order to produce new blood cells.

Leukemia can be a bone marrow or blood cancer. Bone marrow makes white blood cells, and if it did not function properly, it would cause the red blood cells to increase, decrease, or not function. Replacing bone marrow means that the new marrow would take over the job of making red blood cells and fix the problem.
