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.
Hey there according to my research I found this same similar question on here with options:
<span>A) The herbivorous animals would thrive and continue to live on the grassland for many generations.
B) The herbivorous animals would also migrate to the national park, because ecosystems tend to maintain balance.
C) The herbivorous animal populations would decline as they are now easy targets for hunters and other predators.
D) The herbivorous animals would initially thrive, but eventual overgrazing would lead to starvation or migration.Among those four, the answer is D).

Prokaryotes don’t have organelles (which are the cell’s ‘organs’ that carry out the cells functions).
Plant cells and animal cells are eukaryotes because they have organelles.
Plant cells are kind of stiff because of their structure. They have a cell wall, which is really tough. Also, plant cells perform photosynthesis, using an organelle called a chloroplast. Finally, plant cells have a large vacuole that stores the cells waste.
Animal cells, unlike plant cells, lack a cell wall. That means they’re free to wiggle if they wanted to. Animal cells have lysosomes that assist in reproduction.
Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to a pathogen. Antibody production is a function of the specific immunity arm of the immune system.
During the first encounter with a pathogen, antibody production against that pathogen is a bit slow and not very vigorous. However, memory of that pathogen is kept in memory cell which are a type of lymphocyte.
On a second encounter with the same type of pathogen, the immune system specifically remembers the pathogen and the response this time round is faster, very vigorous, specific and very effective.
Vaccines follow this principle, making good use of immune memory.
In a human? Need more context here but should be outside the cell. At equilibrium you will have a more negative environment in the cell.
