Question:

What is not true for ZIFT?

Options:

Invitro fertilization take place in ZIFT

Zygote is formed under sterilized laboratory conditions

Zygote is transferred into the fallopian tube

ZIFT is a form of GIFT

Correct Answer:

ZIFT is a form of GIFT

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4)- ZIFT is a form of GIFT

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. 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.

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.
