Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure described in the question is chorionic villus sampling, which involves snipping a sample of fetal sac tissue during the 10-12th week of pregnancy to check for genetic abnormalities such as Down Syndrome. Amniocentesis involves sampling the amniotic fluid later in the pregnancy (around 15-18 weeks) and fetoscopy involves inserting a small camera into the uterus to view the fetus. Sonography is a type of ultrasound used to monitor fetal development but does not involve sampling tissue.
