Read the passage carefully and give the answer to the next five questions:
India was amongst the first countries in the world to initiate action plans and programmes at a national level to attain total reproductive health as a social goal. These programmes called 'family planning' were initiated in 1951 and were periodically assessed over the past decades. Improved programmes covering wider reproduction-related areas are currently in operation. Creating awareness among the people about various reproduction-related aspects and providing facilities and support for building up a reproductively healthy society are the major tasks under these programmes.
Match List-I with List-II :
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (Various Assisted Reproductive Technologies) | (Process Involved) |
| (A) ZIFT | (I) Formation of embryo in vitro by injecting sperm directly into ovum |
| (B) ICSI | (II) Transferring of embryo with more than 8 blastomeres into the uterus |
| (C) IUI | (III) Transferring of fertilised egg up to 8 blastomeres into fallopian tube |
| (D) IUT | (IV) Transfer of semen from a healthy donor into the uterus artificially |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C) - (IV), (D) -(II)
(A) ZIFT — this matches (III) Transferring of fertilised egg up to 8 blastomeres into fallopian tube. ZIFT is zygote intra fallopian transfer. The zygote or early embryo with up to 8 blastomeres is placed in the fallopian tube, where an early embryo would normally be.
(B) ICSI — this matches (I) Formation of embryo in vitro by injecting sperm directly into ovum. ICSI is intra cytoplasmic sperm injection. A sperm is injected straight into the ovum in the laboratory, and the embryo forms there.
(C) IUI — this matches (IV) Transfer of semen from a healthy donor into the uterus artificially. IUI is intra-uterine insemination, a form of artificial insemination. Semen from the husband or a healthy donor is put into the uterus, when the male cannot inseminate or has a very low sperm count.
(D) IUT — this matches (II) Transferring of embryo with more than 8 blastomeres into the uterus. IUT is intra uterine transfer. An embryo that has gone beyond the 8-blastomere stage is placed in the uterus, where it can implant.
