Question

Doctor after proper check-up identified that Mary had blockage in her reproductive system (oviducts). Which of the following method can solve her problem?

• A. None of the above
• B. Cloning
• C. Asexual reproduction
• D. In vitro fertilisation

Answer 1

The correct option is D In vitro fertilisation

In some cases, women cannot reproduce naturally. For example due to blockage of the oviducts. As a result, sperms cannot reach the egg for fertilisation. Hence women are not able to get pregnant.
In vitro fertilization is done by fusing ovum from female and sperms from the male under strict laboratory conditions. They keep them together for few hours for fertilisation to happen. In case fertilisation takes place, the zygote formed is allowed to develop for a week and then is placed in the mother's uterus for further development.
