Question

Choose the correct statement regarding the ZIFT procedure.
A. Ova collected from a female donor are transferred to the Fallopian tube to facilitate zygote formation.
B. Zygote is collected from a female donor and transferred to the Fallopian tube.
C. Zygote is collected from a female donor and transferred to the uterus.
D. Ova collected from a female donor and transferred to the uterus.

Answer 1

Hint: The assisted reproductive technique is also known as ART are medical procedures useful for bringing up pregnancy. In this kind of procedure sperms, egg cells, or ovum or embryos are manipulated for getting tested positive for pregnancy. ZIFT stands for Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer.

Complete step by step answer: ZIFT is an assisted reproductive procedure for the test-tube baby program where the zygote is collected from a female donor in a laboratory first and transferred into the Fallopian tube. The zygote is developed into a laboratory up to blastomeres.
Let us look at all the options to get the correct answer,
Statement A: Ova collected from a female donor is transferred to the Fallopian tube to facilitate zygote formation which is the procedure for GIFT which stands for Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer.
Statement B: Zygote is collected from a female donor and transferred to the Fallopian tube which is the technique followed in ZIFT that stands for Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer.
Statement C: Zygote is collected from a female donor and transferred to the uterus which is the IVF technique.
Statement D: Ova collected from a female donor and transferred to the uterus which is the technique for IUT which is Intra Uterine Transfer where embryos of more than eight blastomeres are taken from the donor and inserted into the uterus.
Hence, the correct option is A- Ova collected from a female donor is transferred to the Fallopian tube to facilitate zygote formation.

Note: ICSI is totally different from IVF-ER in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, as in IVF thousands of spermatozoa are added to one egg and one sperm out of those thousands fuses with the egg cell. In CSI the embryologist uses technically advanced instrumentation to pick out one spermatozoon and inject it into the egg.
