Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are prenatal procedures that detect congenital abnormalities. Classify each statement as a characteristic of amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, or both. True for amniocentesis True for chorionic villus sampling True for both Answer Bank requires cell cultures used to prepare a fetal karyotype normally conducted about 16 weeks after conception uses placental tissue conducted as early as 10 weeks after conception may increase the risk of fetal limb defects
