- C.ZIFT and IUT✓
- D.GIFT and ZIFT
Correct Answer
(C) ZIFT and IUT
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (C) ZIFT and IUT Solution: ZIFT transfers the zygote/early embryo (up to 8 blastomeres) into the fallopian tube and IUT transfers embryos with more than 8 blastomeres into the uterus, so both move the embryo. ICSI injects a sperm into the ovum and GIFT transfers an ovum (gamete), so neither transfers an embryo. NCERT Reference: Reproductive Health, p.48 — "The zygote or early embryos (with upto 8 blastomeres) could then be transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT–zygote intra fallopian transfer) and embryos with more than 8 blastomeres, into the uterus (IUT – intra uterine transfer)"
