Question

Which one is not determined in the developing foetus by using amniocentesis?

• A. Sex determination of foetus
• B. Hepatitis
• C. Survivability of the foetus
• D. Haemophilia

Hint:

Amniocentesis analyzes fetal cells and DNA — not viral or bacterial infections like hepatitis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic technique used to detect genetic disorders, sex of the fetus, and chromosomal abnormalities.
It cannot detect infections like hepatitis.
- (A), (C), and (D) are detectable via genetic screening.
- (B) Hepatitis is a viral infection — not diagnosable through amniotic fluid analysis.
