The two methods of ARTs (Assisted Reproductive Technologies) that has helped childless couples to bear children: (i) Test-tube baby programme. In test-tube programme
Ova from the wife or a donor female and the sperms from the husband or a donor male is allowed to fuse under simulated conditions in the laboratory. It is called in vitro
Embryo is then transferred into the uterus or fallopian tube for further development.
The process of embryo transfer is done in following ways: Zygote or embryo up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into Fallopian tube (ZIFT). Embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred into uterus (IUT). (ii) ICSI It is carried but by directly injecting sperm into the ovum to form an embryo in the laboratory. Embryo transfer is done later on.
Explain any two methods of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) that has helped childless couples to bear children.
