Answer 2

In amniocentesis, the fluid is taken from the fluid surrounding the fetus i.e  amniotic fluid.

Explanation:

• In order to detect any chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, the procedure is carried out.
• Diseases like Down's syndrome, or other chromosomal defects like spina bifida can be tested through this technique.
• In the procedure, a needle is inserted into the uterus and some spinal fluid is extracted. The fluid contains fetal cells and other proteins.
• The role of the amniotic fluid is to give protection to the developing fetus.
