Question

true or false question
true or false: detecting the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine or blood is the basis for pregnancy tests.
true
false

Explanation:

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta after implantation. Pregnancy tests (both urine - based home tests and blood tests in a clinical setting) detect the presence of hCG. In urine tests, a dipstick with antibodies that bind to hCG is used. In blood tests, more sensitive assays (like immunoassays) can detect hCG levels, which rise significantly during early pregnancy.

True
