Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Amniocentesis is a fetal sex determination and disorder test based on the chromosomal pattern in the amniotic fluid surrounding the developing embryo. It is withdrawal of a sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the embryo in the uterus by piercing the amniotic sac through the abdominal wall. Amniotic fluid drawn from the uterus contains cells from the embryo (mostly shed from the skin). Cell cultures enable chromosome patterns to be studied so that prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down's syndrome) can be made. Metabolic errors and other diseases, such as spina bifida, can also be diagnosed prenatally from the biochemistry of the cells. Now-a days, instead of positive uses of amniocentesis, it is being used for female feticide. Sex of the fetus is determined using amniocentesis and then if it turns out to been a female one, fetus is aborted. That is why amniocentesis has been banned in India.
