Question

Assisted reproductive technology, IVF involves transfer of ______.

Options

• Ovum into the fallopian tube

• Zygote into the fallopian tube

• Zygote into the uterus

• Embryo with 16 blastomeres into the fallopian tube

Answer 1

Assisted reproductive technology, IVF involves transfer of zygote into the fallopian tube.

Explanation:

In vitro fertilisation is a technique that involves fertilising male and female gametes (spermatozoon and ovum) outside the body in nearly identical conditions to those found inside the body, followed by zygote or embryo transfer (ET). Zygote intra fallopian transfer, or ZIFT, involves transferring the zygote or early embryo (up to 8 blastomeres stage) to the fallopian tube.
