a F, that's chromosomal analysis, isn't it? How does that determine fetal sex?
b T, can, I think, but is that how you do it?
c F, as a
d F, risk multi-factorial, including folate supplementation, drugs etc
e T, autosomal dominant
f T, autosomal recessive
g F, not any infections diagnosed this way
Can you please explain a? |

False as, there is no DNA in HIV virus to do DNA testing.
 
The point of discussion is --
the RT-PCR test for HIV, converts HIV RNA to cDNA and then PCR done, accuracy is good.
so is this a DNA test or a RNA test?
The question asks for a DNA test.

[b]True
Yes, DNA analaysis can be used to determine fetal sex.
Actually DNA analysis allows for more rapid sex determination by assaying for Y specific sequences or by quantitative assay of X specific sequences. |

True
Utilizing cell-free fetal DNA present in the maternal blood: various potential applications including prenatal genetic testing and screening;
the test is being considered as an alternative to standard procedures for pregnant women with Rhesus-negative blood. |
