Question

The blood does not clot for a person suffering from

• A. Sickle cell anemia
• B. Hemophilia
• C. Thalassemia
• D. Hypoxia

Answer 1

The correct option is B Hemophilia

In sickle cell anemia, abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become sticky and sickle-shaped which causes health problems.

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which a person lacks or has low levels of some proteins called blood clotting factors due to which blood does not clot properly. This leads to excessive bleeding.

Thalassemia is inherited blood disorder in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein present in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in destroying of large numbers of red blood cells which finally leads to anemia.

Hypoxia is a type of condition in which the body or region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.

Thus the correct answer is option B.
