Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Molecular markers are essential components of thrombosis risk tests. Genetic predispositions to thrombophilia are widespread. Analysis of molecular markers associated with thrombophilic conditions would help identify a potential risk for development of a thrombus, and corrective action could be taken sooner.
