Question

In which of the following techniques, the embryos are transferred to assist those females who cannot conceive?

• A. ZIFT and IUT
• B. GIFT and ZIFT
• C. ICSI and ZIFT
• D. GIFT and ICSI

Hint:

ZIFT and IUT are the techniques in which embryos are transferred to assist those females who cannot conceive.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

ZIFT and IUT are the techniques in which embryos are transferred to assist those females who cannot conceive.

The correct option is option A.

1. The full form of ZIFT is Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer.
2. In ZIFT, the embryo is transferred in the fallopian tube to the 8-blastomere stage.
3. The success rate of ZIFT is very high ensuring fertilization.
4. IUT refers to intrauterine transfer.
5. In IUT, the embryo is transferred to the uterus in the 32 blastomere stage.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

ICSI is intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. In this, healthy sperm is injected into the ovum.

GIFT refers to gamete intrafallopian transfer. In this technique, two retrieved ova and washed sperms are transferred into the fallopian tube through a laparoscope.

Hence, the correct option is ZIFT and IUT - In ZIFT & IUT embryos are transferred to assist the females who cannot conceive.

Answer 2

Option (A) - ZIFT and IUT are correct because ART in which embryos are transferred include ZIFT (Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer) and IUT (Intra Uterine Transfer), both are embryo transfer (ET) methods.

Option (B), (C) and (D) are incorrect because in GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer), the gamete is transferred into the fallopian tube of females who cannot produce ova. ICSI is an Intracytoplasmic sperm injection in which sperm is directly injected into the ovum.
