Answer to Question 1

Answer: Defects in globin chain production will impair hemoglobin production. Hemoglobin is the main oxygen-carrying protein, therefore oxygen transport will be impaired in both alpha and beta chain defects because less HbA will be formed. (Objective 2, Level II)

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: C
