Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by insatiable hunger that can lead to morbid obesity in childhood. Abnormal, puppetlike gait, paroxysms of inappropriate laughter, and nonverbal are characteristics seen in Angelman syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hemophilia A is deficient in factor VIII. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency shows low red blood cells (hemolytic anemia). Immunosuppression may be the cause of a deficient number of platelets. Hemophilia B is deficient in factor IX.
