Solution
In females, fallopian tubes are cut and tied and this is known as tubectomy. After tubectomy, eggs are not transferred from the ovaries to the fallopian tubes and hence, there is no chance of fertilisation.
In males, vas deferens are cut and tied and this is known as vasectomy. After vasectomy, sperms are not transferred from the testis to the vas deferens and therefore, no sperms are present in the semen.
