Question

Test tube babies can grow in test tubes. State true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is

B

False

Test tube babies cannot grow in test tubes. In the case of test-tube babies, doctors collect freshly released eggs and sperm and keep them together for a few hours for IVF or in vitro fertilization (fertilization outside the body). In case fertilization occurs, the zygote is allowed to develop for about a week, and then it is placed in the mother’s uterus. Complete development takes place in the uterus and the baby is born like any other baby.
