Question

Suggest any three assisted reproductive technologies to overcome infertility.

Answer 1

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the technology used for fertility treatment and surrogacy. There are many techniques which are included in ART for overcoming the problems of infertility. The technologies which are used includes:

• Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): The genetic material of the sperm is injected into the cytoplasm of the egg and the fertilised egg is implanted into the uterus of the mother.
  
• Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT): The zygote at the stage of 16-32 blastomeres which is fertilised by in-vitro method is implanted in the fallopian tube of the mother.
  
• Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT): The sperm is implanted into the fallopian tube of the female to allow fertilisation.
