विकल्प

• GIFT

• Amniocentesis

• ICSI

• MTP

Answer 1

The technique used to detect the genetic defects in the developing embryo is amniocentesis.

Explanation:

Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic technique used to detect genetic defects and chromosomal abnormalities in a developing embryo or fetus. A sample of amniotic fluid containing fetal cells is withdrawn using a needle inserted through the mother’s abdomen into the uterus. The fetal cells can then be analyzed for chromosomal defects such as trisomies (e.g., Down syndrome) and other genetic disorders. This technique provides important information about the health and genetic status of the fetus before birth.
