Choose the correct statement regarding the GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Tube Transfer) procedure.
- Ova collected from a female donor are transferred to the fallopian tube to facilitate zygote formation in the recipient
- Ova are collected from a female donor and are transferred to the uterus of recipient
- Zygote is collected from a female donor and transferred to the uterus of recipient.
- Zygote is collected from female donor and transferred to the fallopian tube of recipient.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
GIFT involves transferring ova (eggs) and sperm directly into the fallopian tube, where fertilization (zygote formation) occurs naturally inside the recipient's body.
Option (B) is incorrect because GIFT does not involve transferring a zygote; it involves transferring gametes (ova and sperm).
Option (A) describes ZIFT (Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer), not GIFT.
Option (D) describes embryo transfer to the uterus, which is part of IVF, not GIFT.
Thus, the correct answer is (C).

- Abnormal sperm production or function
- Problems with the delivery of sperm
- Overexposure to certain environmental factors
- Damage related to cancer and its treatment

- Ovulation disorders
- Uterine or cervical abnormalities
- Fallopian tube damage or blockage
- Endometriosis
