Amniocentesis or amniotic fluid test or AFT refers to the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities and fetal infections. It is performed after 16 weeks of pregnancy. The fetal DNA from a small amount of cells from the amniotic fluid of the amniotic sac is sampled for genetic abnormalities by inserting a needle and extracting it. The fluid contains cells that are sloughed off by the fetus. They are separated from the amniotic fluid, grown in a culture and then microscopically examined for genetic and chromosomal abnormalities. The test is a reliable indicator of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down’s syndrome, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, rh diseasetrisomy 13, trisomy 18, fragile X, Tay-Sachs disease, Hunter's syndrome and other metabolic disorders.

Two solutions will be prepared with the mixture of distilled water and stock solution of KMnO4 (10 mM). Give the correct volumes
Yanka [14]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Recall that the law of dilution states that the number of moles before dilution must be equal to the number of moles after dilution.</em>

Mathematically,

     molarity x number of moles before dilution = molarity x number of moles after dilution.

For solution A: final molarity = 3 mM, final volume = 2mL, initial molarity of KMnO4 = 10 mM

Applying the equation:

    10 x initial volume = 3 x 2

        initial volume = 6/10 = 0.6

<u>Hence, Tube A should be made with 0.6 mL of 10 mM KMnO4 stock and  1.4 mL of distilled water to give a solution of 2 mL 3 mM KMnO4.</u>

For solution B:final molarity = 8 mM, final volume = 2 mL, initial molarity = 10 mM

    10 x initial volume = 8 x 2

       initial volume = 16/10 = 1.6

<u>Hence, Tube B should be made with 1.6 mL of 10 mM KMnO4 stock and 0.4 mL of distilled water to give a solution of 2 mL 8mM KMnO4. </u>

In the history of psychology, a major topic has been the relative influence of the nature and
Harman [31]

Answer:

this is my answer Key Takeaways. The nature versus nurture debate involves the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e., genetic) or acquired (i.e., learned) influences. Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors.
