Match the LIST-I with LIST-IILIST-ILIST-IIAssisted reproductive techn…

The correct answer is Option (2) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

(A) GIFT — this matches (III) Transfer of donor’s ovum to recipient’s fallopian tube. In gamete intra fallopian transfer, an ovum from a donor is placed in the fallopian tube of a woman who cannot make ova but can host fertilisation and development. Fertilisation then takes place inside the body.

(B) ICSI — this matches (I) Sperm is directly injected into the ovum. In intra cytoplasmic sperm injection, a single sperm is injected into the ovum in the laboratory, which helps when sperms cannot fertilise on their own.

(C) AI — this matches (IV) Low sperm count. In artificial insemination, semen is placed in the vagina or uterus. It is used when the male partner’s sperm count is low.

(D) IVF — this matches (II) Fertilisation outside the body. In in vitro fertilisation, the sperm and ovum are joined in a laboratory dish, and the embryo is then transferred to the woman.

NCERT Extract:
Infertility – “… 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.”
Infertility – “… 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. Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is another specialised procedure to form an embryo in the laboratory in which a sperm is directly injected into the ovum.”
Infertility – “… Infertility cases either due to inability of the male partner to inseminate the female or due to very low sperm counts in the ejaculates, could be corrected by artificial insemination (AI) technique.”
