A 52-year old man weighing 60kg is taking 100mg Iron supplement every night due to his mild Anemia. He noticed that the color of his stool became dark brown to black and tarry, with a sudden change in consistency. He decided to stop taking Iron supplements however, his condition is still the same as well as the color of his stool. He then consulted the doctor after a week, as it is accompanied by persistent abdominal discomfort and constipation.
Questions:
(1) What chemical test can be used to detect blood in the stool sample? Explain. (2 points)
(2) What is the principle and expected result of the tests? (2 points)
(3) What will be the confirmatory test for the detection of blood in the stool sample? (1 point)
(4) What is insufficient in patients with Anemia? Explain. (2 points)
(5) What are the functions of white blood cells in our body? Explain. (2 points)

Your older sister is in training for a marathon (26 mile run), and she has been experiencing acute kidney dysfunction during some of her 15-20 mile training runs. She went to the doctor, and her laboratory tests showed elevated serum concentrations of K+, lowered serum concentrations of Na+, and a decrease in the GFR. Her doctor said she may be at risk of developing renal failure during her marathon race.
Explain why these symptoms and conditions may occur while running a marathon.

Huntington's Disease is caused by an autosomal dominant allele.
Suppose a prospective father is diagnosed with this disease. His own mother also had it, but not his father.
The prospective mother has no family history of the disease.
a. What are the genotypes of these two prospective parents? (Tell how many copies of the dominant Huntington's allele the man and the woman each has.)
b. What is the probability that a child of theirs would inherit the disease? Explain.
