Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology provides a high-purity factor VIII concentrate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Approximately 90 of female carriers of hemophilia A are detected using the ratio of factor VIII activity to VWF antigen. This is because WVF production is unaffected by factor VIII deficiency, so it should be normal in a female hemophilia A carrier, whereas the factor VIII activity will be less than that of VWF. Thus a discrepancy exists in the concentration of these two proteins.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
