Question

Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder inherited as a recessive X-linked trait. It prevents the clotting of blood, causing excessive bleeding. Which of these is a possible treatment intervention for this disease? A) Supplement a protein that helps in coagulation B) Supplement enzymes that help blood flow freely C) Supplement folic acid that helps to form red blood cells D) Supplement vaccines to increase the number of white blood cells

Answer 1

A) Supplement a protein that helps in coagulation

Step-by-step explanation:

In Haemophilia A, the important intervention would be to stem the flow of blood. This can be done by supplementing a protein that helps in coagulation.

Answer 2

Ans.

Hemophilia is categorized as a genetic disorder as it can transmits to the offspring from affected parents. Persons affected with hemophilia have low level of blood clotting proteins, such as thrombin. They show unexplained bleeding due to injuries as their blood cells cannot coagulate properly to prevent blood loss. Thus, medications that stimulate blood coagulation will be helpful for persons affected with hemophilia to prevent excess bleeding.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'A). supplement a protein that helps in coagulation.'
