Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hb S, Hb A, Hb F, and Hb A2 would be seen. Hb A, which is not present in patients with homozygous Hb S, is from the transfused red cells. Hb F and Hb A2 are normal hemoglobins.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Replacement of one nucleotide in the normal gene with a different nucleotide is a point mutation. This results in a different amino acid and can affect the protein's function.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
