Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Hemoglobins C-Harlem and HbI have positive sickle solubility tests (they share the same mutation as hemoglobin S-valine for glutamic at the beta-6 position plus an additional amino acid substitution). To differentiate these from Hb S, hemoglobin electrophoresis should be performed.
