Given below are two statements:- Statement I: Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is another specialised procedure of in-vivo fertilisation. Statement II: Infertility cases due to inability of the male partner to inseminate female can be corrected by artificial insemination (AI). In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
Statement I is correct but statement II is false
B
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
C
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Detailed Solution
ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialised procedure of in-vitro fertilisation (not in-vivo), where a sperm is directly injected into an ovum — so Statement I is false. When a male partner is unable to inseminate the female (e.g. due to erectile dysfunction), artificial insemination (AI), in which semen is introduced into the vagina or uterus artificially, can correct this — Statement II is true.
