Identify the correct statement for Zygote Intra-Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT). |
The in-vitro technique involving the transfer of an early embryo into the fallopian tube of the same female from whom the egg was taken. The in-vitro technique involving the transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female. The in-vivo technique involving the transfer of an early embryo into the fallopian tube of the same female from whom the egg was taken. The in-vivo technique involving the transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female. |
The in-vitro technique involving the transfer of an early embryo into the fallopian tube of the same female from whom the egg was taken. |
The correct answer is Option (1) → The in-vitro technique involving the transfer of an early embryo into the fallopian tube of the same female from whom the egg was taken. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) are medical procedures used to treat infertility by manipulating eggs, sperm, or embryos outside the body. These technologies aim to help individuals or couples achieve pregnancy when natural conception is difficult. Some examples of ART include: In vitro fertilisation (IVF–fertilisation outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body) followed by embryo transfer (ET) is one of such methods. 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.Transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube (GIFT – gamete intra fallopian transfer) of another female who cannot produce one, but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation and further development is another method attempted. |
