Uses an ultrasound to check the area at the back of the fetal neck for extra fluid or thickening. Correct Answer-Nuchal translucency screening test
Can only give a probability for a condition being present. It is not a diagnostic test and thereby it cannot confirm if a chromosomal condition is present or absent. Correct Answer-The nuchal translucency scan

4. Inhibin A
Hormones made by the placenta Correct Answer-hCG, Estriol, Inhibin A
This blood test measures the level Alpha-Fetoprotein in your blood during pregnancy. It is a protein normally made by the fetal liver Correct Answer-AFP
