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

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.
