Solution
The correct option is D a,b,c and d
Aminocentesis
is a transabdominal aspiration of fluid from the amniotic sac of the foetus. It
is a prenatal diagnostic technique to determine the genetic disorders, if
any, and sex of the foetus.
Chromosomal
abnormalities such as down's syndrome, klinefelter's syndrome, turner's
syndrome, Trisomy 13, trisomy 18, spinal cord defects(neural tube defects, can be detected.
It may be performed in late pregnancy to check fetal well being and diagnose fetal conditons, such as infection, fetal lung maturity if a baby is expected to be delivered early.
So, the correct answer is 'a, b, c and d'.
