Question

What does the term in-vitro fertilisation(IVF) mean?

Answer 1

The most widely used process in ART (assisted reproductive technologies) is in-vitro fertilisation.

• IVF is a process which is carried out under restrictive lab conditions by fusing ova from the woman donor and sperm from the male donor outside of the body. The baby is known as a test-tube baby or zygote.[1 mark]
• After culturing the embryo, the embryo is relocated to the mother’s uterus.[1 mark]
