Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Formation and development of red blood cells (hematopoiesis) occurs in the wall of the yolk sac beginning in the third week. The function gradually declines after the eighth gestational week when the fetal liver begins to take over this process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An X-linked dominant inheritance disorder is the result of an alteration in a gene located on an X chromosome. None of this couple's sons can be affected because boys get a Y chromosome from the father, whereas all of a man's daughters will have it.
