E) all of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the mentioned methods (fetoscopy, amniocentesis, chorionic villi sampling, preimplantation diagnosis) allow for the analysis of the genetics of the new generation. Fetoscopy involves direct visualization of the fetus using a thin fiber-optic instrument, and genetic analysis can be performed on fetal cells obtained during this procedure. Amniocentesis involves the collection of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal cells, and genetic analysis can be performed on these cells. Chorionic villi sampling involves the collection of tissue from the placenta, which also contains fetal cells, and genetic analysis can be performed on these cells. Preimplantation diagnosis involves the screening of embryos before implantation, and genetic analysis can be performed on a single cell from each embryo.
