Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
G6PD deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder that affects the functioning of the red blood cells.

An excess supply of iron refers to hemosiderosis, a complication of thalassemia, an autosomal recessive disorder.

The mother does not need to follow the instructions exactly; she needs to review the methods and modify them in a way that works best for her daughter. The other statements are correct.
