Question

Which of the following will occur if the fallopian tube is ligated?

• A. Ovum will not be produced.
• B. No fertilisation will occur.
• C. Implantation of the zygote cannot occur.
• D. No sex hormones will be produced.

Answer 1

The correct option is B No fertilisation will occur.

Tubectomy is the method in which the fallopian tubes in the females are cut and then sealed or tied. On ovulation, the egg cannot enter the fallopian tube and so, there is no ovum present in the site for fertilization. This prevents the fertilization of egg and sperm.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
