Question

A person whose uterus is hostile to sperms can conceive a child by____.

• A. AI
• B. MTP
• C. ZIFT
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C ZIFT

In ZIFT (zygote intra fallopian transfer), zygote or early embryos (with upto 8 blastomeres) produced artificially in a laboratory are transferred into the fallopian tube.

Since zygote is transferred here into the female whose uterus is hostile to sperms, ZIFT is the most suitable technique to conceive.

AI (artificial insemination) involves injection of semen directly into the vagina or uterus. In this, the semen is collected either from the husband or a healthy donor. It is then artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus of the female which aids in conception.

AI involves entry of sperms into the female. Hence, a female whose uterus is hostile to sperms will not be able to successfully conceive using the technique of AI.

MTP stands for medical termination of pregnancy. It is also called induced abortion.
