Answer to Question 1

Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic technique that uses a syringe to withdraw a sample of amniotic fluid throughout the mother's abdomen. Chorionic villus sampling is a prenatal diagnostic technique that involves taking a sample of tissue from the chorion. Fetal medicine can be used to treat prenatal problems before birth. Disorders can be treated by administering drugs or hormones to the fetus, fetal surgery, or genetic engineering.
