Question:

Which among the following could be transferred into the fallopian tube during in vitro fertilisation technique?

Options:

Only Zygote.

Embryo upto 32 blastomeres stage.

Zygote or early embryo up to 8 blastomeres stage.

Only embryo.

Correct Answer:

Zygote or early embryo up to 8 blastomeres stage.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3)- Zygote or early embryo up to 8 blastomeres 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) and embryos with more than 8 blastomeres, into the uterus (IUT – intra uterine transfer), to complete its further development.
