Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amniocentesis is the most common test recommended for pregnant women over the age of 35 or those with a family history of genetic disorders such as Down syndrome. This test involves removing a small sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus to test for abnormalities in the fetus's chromosomes. Ultrasound may also be recommended during pregnancy but is not specific to detecting genetic disorders. Umbilical cord sampling and embryoscope are not commonly used tests for detecting chromosomal abnormalities.
