Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
High-performance liquid chromatography can separate and quantify Hb A2 and Hb F, which is important to do when working up patients with possible thalassemic syndromes. None of the other methods quantify them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hb Lepore is a d-b fusion globin chain with decreased synthesis of the chain. Heterozygotes have a clinical course similar to that of b-thalassemia minor.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
