Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Amniocentesis is a procedure used primarily for prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities and fetal infections, and also for sex determination. It is typically performed between 14 and 16 weeks of pregnancy. Conditions like Down syndrome can be detected through amniocentesis, but cleft palate, which is a structural anomaly, is usually detected through ultrasound rather than amniocentesis.
