Q.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A): and the other is labelled as Reason (R).                       [2023]

Assertion (A): Amniocentesis for sex determination is one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme.

Reason (R): Ban on amniocentesis checks increasing menace of female foeticide.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:       
1 (A) is true but (R) is false.  
2 A is false but (R) is true.  
3 Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).  
4 Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).  

Ans.

(2)

Amniocentesis is one of the reproductive strategies. It is used to determine genetic disorder in fetus and is based on the chromosomal pattern in the amniotic fluid. It has been misused to determine sex of fetus and thus, is legally banned for the determination of sex to avoid female foeticide.
