an increased risk for venous stasis in the lower
extremities. Subsequently, edema and varicose vein
formation may occur. Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation
of the veins due to thrombus formation. Pregnancy-
induced hypertension is not associated with these
symptoms. Gravity plays only a minor role with these
symptoms.

temperature, or having a spontaneous or missed abortion
impending can all produce false- negative results.

is determined."

by the ovum." - Answer-B. Explanation
The sex of the fetus is determined at the point that the
sperm fertilizes the ovum to form the zygote. Sex is
ultimately determined by the chromosome contributed by
the sperm.
