A couple has normal gamete production, but the woman has permanently blocked fallopian tubes. In a procedure, an ovum is fertilised by sperm outside the body and the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus. Which assisted reproductive technique is being used?
- A.GIFT
- B.ZIFT
- C.ICSI
- D.IVF-ETCorrect answer
Solution
In IVF-ET, fertilisation occurs outside the body in the laboratory and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus. GIFT transfers gametes into the fallopian tube, ZIFT transfers a zygote into the fallopian tube, and ICSI involves direct injection of a sperm into an ovum.
