Question

Which of these is wrongly matched?

• A. ICSI–Sperm directly injected into ovum
• B. ZIFT- Zygote or early embryo with upto 8 blastomeres is transferred into the Fallopian tube of female
• C. GIFT–Embryo with more than 8 blastomeres transferred into fallopian tube of female
• D. IVF–Fertilization outside the body

Answer 1

The correct option is C GIFT–Embryo with more than 8 blastomeres transferred into fallopian tube of female

ICSI- Sperm is directly injected into the ovum.

IUT- The embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred into the uterus.

GIFT- Ovum from donor female is introduced into the fallopian tube of female who can not produce ova. GIFT is an in-vivo fertilization procedure where the gametes –sperm and ova are conveyed directly into the fallopian tube. In GIFT, fertilization and zygote formation is more natural as it takes place within the female body. However, this technique is carried out only if there is enough sperm count and minimum one fallopian tube is functional. GIFT is an alternative for IVF.

IVF- In vitro fertilization is a method in which fertilization of male gamete (spermatozoon) and female gamete (ovum) outside the body in almost similar conditions.

ZIFT- ZIFT (Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer) is the technique in which zygote or early embryo with upto 8 blastomeres is transferred into the fallopian tube of female.

So, the correct answer is c.
