Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling both involve taking a sample of fetal tissue or fluid, which can then be used for karyotyping (examining the chromosomes for abnormalities) and other biochemical testing, such as testing for genetic disorders or metabolic conditions. Neither procedure is primarily used for imaging, and while sex can sometimes be determined from the results, this is not their primary purpose. Direct observation of the fetus is not involved in either procedure.
