If you were most interested in knowing the genotype of your unborn baby, perhaps to find out if there were specific genetic or chromosomal problems, which prenatal test would be most appropriate?
A) ​standard ultrasound
B) ​maternal glucose test
C) ​amniocentesis
D) ​4-D color ultrasound

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amniocentesis is the most appropriate prenatal test for determining the genotype of an unborn baby as it involves testing a sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus for any genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. Standard ultrasound and 4-D color ultrasound can provide visual images of the fetus but cannot provide genetic information. Maternal glucose test is used to screen for gestational diabetes and does not provide information on the baby's genotype.
