Solution

Tubectomy and vasectomy are surgical methods for permanent sterility in humans. Tubectomy is done in females. Here, the fallopian tubes are cut and both the cut ends are ligated. This prevents entry of ovum into uterus.
On the contrary, vasectomy is done in males. Here, the vas deferens is cut and the cut ends are ligated, and the sperms cannot enter the ejaculatory duct.
