Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Three types of normal hemoglobin are present at any given time in the blood: A, F, and A2 . By 6 months of age, hemoglobin A is the predominant type. Hemoglobin S is associated with sickle cell disease.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Thrombocytes or platelets are responsible for blood clotting. Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell or leukocyte, both of which are involved in fighting infection. Erythrocytes or red blood cells are responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen to body tissues and waste products from the tissues.
