Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
In IVF, the fusion of ovum and sperm is done outside the body of woman, to form a zygote which is allowed to divide to form embryo. This embryo is then implanted in uterus where it develops into a foetus which in turn develops into a child.
This is called test tube baby. In this method, ova from the wife/donor female and sperms from the husband/donor male are induced to form zygote in the laboratory. The zygote is allowed to divide forming 8 blastomeres. The zygote or early embryo is transferred into the Fallopian tube (ZIFT - Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer).
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
