Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A patient with methemoglobin reductase deficiency will have an elevated concentration of methemoglobin. It is normal for some small amount of hemoglobin to be oxidized on a daily basis. However, this does not build up in the RBCs because the iron is constantly being reduced to its functional ferrous state. When this enzyme is deficient, methemoglobin increases in the RBCs. Rare patients taking sulfonamide-containing drugs may develop sulfhemoglobin. Oxidizing agents can increase hemoglobin M (Hb M), but not reducing agents. Patients with Hb S have normal levels of methemoglobin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hemoglobin Gower-2 is a hemoglobin comprised of two a and two e chains. It is found early in fetal life but disappears by approximately the third month of fetal life. All the other hemoglobins are found in a normal adult, although the predominant form is Hb A; it composes more than 95 of adult hemoglobin.
