Question

1 point 8. For the given statement, choose the term that is best described by the statement.Fluid is drawn from the area surrounding a mammalian embryo. * O cloning O deletion translocation karyotyping amniocentesis

Answer 1

The correct answer is Amniocentesis.

Reason :The other four options are concerned with genetic engineering, where any editing or modifications are done at genetic/chromosomal level. On the other hand, Amniocentesis is a technique for taking out amniotic fluid surrounding the mammalian embryo for the purpose of diagnosis of any fetal infections, sex determination or analysing any chromosomal abnormalities. Amniotic fluid contains fetal tissues, and it is enclosed in amniotic sac surrounding the mammalian fetus/embryo.

Cloning, Translocation, and Deletion are the techniques used for editing/modifying genetic sequences. Karyotyping is the process of analysing the complete chromosome complement of an organism.

So fifth option is correct.
