In assisted reproductive technology after in vitro fertilisation, what is transferred in the fallopian tube?
In assisted reproductive technology after in vitro fertilisation, what is transferred in the fallopian tube?
The correct option is B Embryo upto 8 blastomeres, if zygote is not transplanted
In vitro fertilisation
In vitro fertilisation is an assisted reproductive technique in which the sperm from the male partner and egg from the female partner are collected and allowed to fertilise outside the female body in a test tube under laboratory conditions.
Embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the technique in which the embryos either upto 8 blastomere or more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the female reproductive tract for further development. This follows IVF.
There are two types of embryo transfer depending on the number of blastomeres in the embryo.
Embryo transfer
●ZIFT: Zygote intrafallopian transfer - In this method, zygote or early embryos (with upto 8 blastomeres) are transferred into the fallopian tube.
●IUT: Intrauterine transfer - In this method, embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus.
Final answer
d. Embryo upto 8 blastomeres, if zygote is not transplanted
