Question

Given below are Column A with a list of certain Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and in Column B the procedures followed during ART:

Column A		Column B
S. No.	Names of ART	S. No.	Procedures
(A)	GIFT	(i)	Transfer of ovum from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female.
(B)	ICSI	(ii)	Transfer of semen from the donor into the vagina of the female.
(C)	ZIFT	(iii)	Injecting sperm directly into the ovum.
(D)	IUI	(iv)	Transfer of early embryos into the fallopian tube.

Choose the option where ART correctly matches with the procedure.

• (A)-(iv), B-(iii), (C)-(i), (D)-(ii)

• (A)-(i), B-(iii), (C)-(iv), (D)-(ii)

Answer 1

(A)-(i), B-(iii), (C)-(iv), (D)-(ii)

Explanation:

1. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT): In this procedure, a woman's ovaries are removed, and the man's sperm and eggs are put in one of the fallopian tubes.
2. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): In this method, the zygote is created in vitro, or in a lab, when the sperm is directly placed into an ovum. Now ZIFT is transferring this zygote into the female's body.
3. Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT): Following fertilisation, the embryo is transferred using this method directly into the female's fallopian tube.
4. Intrauterine insemination (IUI): In this technique, the sperm are transferred into a female uterus using a long, narrow tube.
