Q. Match the following ART procedures with their correct descriptions:
1.IVF: Fertilization of the egg occurs outside the human body.
2.GIFT: Transfer of both eggs and sperm into the fallopian tubes.
3.ZIFT: An embryo (zygote) is placed directly into the uterus, bypassing the fallopian tubes.
4.ICSI: A single sperm is directly injected into a mature egg.
5.Surrogacy: An agreement where a woman carries a pregnancy for intended parents.
How many of the statements/pairs given above are correctly described?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation:
- Statements 1, 2, 4, and 5 are correct.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: In ZIFT (Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer), the zygote is placed into the fallopian tube, not the uterus. If it were placed in the uterus, it would be called IUT (Intrauterine Transfer).
