Tonight's materials were as follows. The EMQs caused a bit of headache so make sure you do them as there are bound to be some like them in the exam.
In most of the questions, if one partner was affected or a carrier, it was assumed that the other was not affected. I will need to re-write the questions to tighten this up, but assume if for the answers unless the question specifically spells out that both are affected.
Haemophilia A. Question 1.

Lead-in.
The following scenarios relate to haemophilia A, factor VIII deficiency  (HA).
For each, select the most appropriate answer  from the option list.
Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.
