Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(d) : In IVF method, popularly known as test tube baby programme, ova from the wife/donor (female) and sperms from the husband/donor (male) are collected and induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. The embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transfered into the uterus (IUT). This is in vitro fertilisation (IVF - fertilisation outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body) followed by embryo transfer (ET).
