Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
In In Vitro Fertilization (IVF):
- The fertilized egg (zygote) is allowed to divide and form an embryo outside the body.
- When the embryo reaches the stage of more than 16 blastomeres (usually at the blastocyst stage), it is ready to be implanted.
- Such a developed embryo is transferred into the uterus, where implantation occurs.
Other options:
- Fallopian tube – used for transferring a zygote with fewer than 8 blastomeres (ZIFT method).
- Fimbriae – finger-like projections at the end of the fallopian tube, not used for embryo transfer.
- Cervix – lower part of uterus, not a site for embryo implantation.
Hence, the correct site for transferring an embryo with more than 16 blastomeres is: uterus.

Concepts Used:
Reproductive Health
- The biological process by which a new individual or an offspring is produced from a parent or parents that are biologically similar or identical is known as reproduction. It is the elemental trait of all known forms of life. In fact, each and every individual have life because of reproduction.
- The state or position of male and female reproductive systems during their lifetime refers to their reproductive health. The system comprises organs and glands, including the pituitary gland in our brain, which are responsible for the production and release of hormones.
- In other words, reproductive health can be described as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all aspects relating to the reproductive system. It includes the liberation and appropriate capacity to reproduce as and when one decides to do so, apart from having a safe and satisfying sex life.
