Q. The test-tube baby programme employs which one of the following techniques?

(a) Gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT)

(b) Zygote intra-fallopian transfer (ZIFT)

(c) Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (lCSI)

(d) Intra-uterine insemination (lUI)

Solution :

Correct option : B
The test-tube baby programme refers to the process of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. This is done by a technique called ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer). In this oocyte and sperms are taken and fertilization takes place outside the female’s body i.e. in vitro. Early embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred to the fallopian tube. So the correct option is ‘ zygote intra fallopian transfer(ZIFT) ‘.
