Question 11 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Select all that apply.Which of the following statements are true about hemophilia?

Answer
A
It is an example of an autosomal dominant disorder.
B
It is an example of an autosomal recessive disorder.
C
It is an example of a sex-linked disorder.
D
It involves a protein inside the red blood cells.
E
It is a disease in which a person has trouble stopping bleeding.

Explanation

Hemophilia is usually an X-linked, or sex-linked, inherited disorder, so C is true. It impairs blood clotting, which makes it difficult to stop bleeding, so E is true. It is not an autosomal disorder, and it involves clotting proteins in the blood plasma rather than a protein inside red blood cells.
