Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Amniocentesis is a procedure that is sometimes used to detect genetic abnormalities in unborn children. The procedure involves withdrawing fluid from the amniotic sac that contains the fetus. Fetal cells that are contained in the fluid can then be examined for genetic abnormalities. This procedure is more likely to be done in mothers over the age of 35 because of increased risk for disorders such as Down syndrome. Additionally, this procedure may be recommended in cases where there is a familial history for diseases such as Tay-Sachs, muscular dystrophy, or Rh incompatibility.
