Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Amniocentesis for sex determination is one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme.
Reason R: Ban ion amniocentesis checks increasing menace of female foeticide.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Answers (1)
The correct option is Option 4) A is false but R is true.
Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic procedure that involves the collection of amniotic fluid from the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus. It is primarily used for genetic testing and detecting chromosomal abnormalities, not specifically for sex determination. Therefore, Assertion A is false.
On the other hand, Reason R is true. The reason for banning amniocentesis for sex determination is to address the increasing problem of female foeticide, which is the selective abortion of female fetuses due to a preference for male children. The ban is aimed at preventing the misuse of prenatal diagnostic techniques for gender-based discrimination.
Since Assertion A is false and Reason R is true, the correct option is 4) A is false but R is true.
