There are high risk of following abnormalities or mis- happening if chorionic villus sampling (CVS)  are performed before 10th week of pregnancy:

a) Fetal defects

b) Miscarraige

c)  Fetal anomalies.

d) Risk of infection

As per the standard recommended by American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the standard time to perform this test is between 10th & 12th week as at that time the chances of risk to fetus is very negligible. In no case CVs shall be conducted before 9th week of gestation.  

It is estimated that there is a risk of 0.5 to 1 % of miscarriage after CVs which usually happens within the 3rd day of test.

What is the most important property of water for protecting fish in a shallow pond on a hot summer day
noname [10]
Answer:  Low oxygen content.

Explanation:
There are many dangers to the survival of fish in shallow water that depend on the properties of water.
1. The oxygen content drops during the winter and also in hot weather. Fish cannot survive without enough oxygen in the water.
2. High evaporation rates can drain the pond.
3. Fortunately, water has a high thermal mass, so overheating the water to the boiling point is not an issue.

Of the three reasons given, lack of oxygen is the most critical.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

       Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

        The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.
