Answer 1

Amniocentesis (Amniotic Fluid Test) is a medical procedure that uses a large needle to extract fluids from the Uterus. It is used to detect abnormalities, infections and sometimes used to determine infant gender.

Answer 2

C. Amniocentesis

Step-by-step explanation:

A puncture is performed during the amniocentesis process to remove some of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby in the womb.

Amniocentesis is a procedure that is usually applied to find abnormalities in the fetus, or it can be applied to check the development status of the fetus's lungs.

It is accompanied by an ultrasound to determine the location of the fetus inside the uterus and perform the procedure safely, since a needle must be inserted through the abdomen into the uterus.
