Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology provides a high-purity factor VIII concentrate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Approximately 90 of female carriers of hemophilia A are detected using the ratio of factor VIII activity to VWF antigen. This is because WVF production is unaffected by factor VIII deficiency, so it should be normal in a female hemophilia A carrier, whereas the factor VIII activity will be less than that of VWF. Thus a discrepancy exists in the concentration of these two proteins.
