Solution
The correct option is B False
In vitro fertilisation is the process by which fertilisation (fusion of the egg and the sperm) takes place outside the body. Doctors collect freshly released egg and sperm and put them together for a few hours in a liquid medium. In case fertilisation occurs, the zygote is allowed to develop for about a week into an embryo 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. Babies formed through IVF are called test tube babies but they do not develop in a test tube.
