Practicing Success
Which among the following is transferred during in vitro fertilization into fallopian tube? |
Ovum . Zygote or early embryo up to 8 blastomeres stage . Only Zygote . Embryo with 32 blastomeres stage . |
Zygote or early embryo up to 8 blastomeres stage . |
The correct option among the ones provided would be: Zygote or early embryo up to the 8-blastomere stage. In vitro fertilisation (IVF–fertilisation outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body) followed by embryo transfer (ET). In this method, popularly known as test tube baby programme, ova from the wife/donor (female) and sperms from the husband/donor (male) are collected and are induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. The zygote or early embryos (with upto 8 blastomeres) could then be transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT–zygote intra fallopian transfer). |
