The method of directly injecting a sperm into ovum in assisted reproductive technology is called:Reference: NCERT Class XII, page 48.
2017 1 question
-
In case of a couple where the male is having a very low sperm count, which technique will be suitable for fertilisation?
NCERT names AI for low sperm counts.
Infertility due to inability of the male partner to inseminate the female, or due to very low sperm count in the ejaculate, can be corrected by artificial insemination (AI).

-
A childless couple can be assisted to have a child through a technique called GIFT. The full form of this technique is:

Assisted reproductive technology, IVF involves transfer of:In IVF, fertilisation takes place outside the body. The zygote or early embryo (up to 8 blastomeres) is then transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT).
Embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus (IUT).
2013 NEET 1 question
-
Artificial insemination means:In artificial insemination, semen from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced into the vagina or the uterus (IUI) of the female.
2012 AIPMT-PRE 1 question
-
The Test-tube Baby Programme employs which one of the following techniques?In the test-tube baby programme the ova and sperms are collected and fertilised outside the body (in vitro fertilisation).
The zygote or early embryo (up to 8 blastomeres) is then transferred into the fallopian tube: ZIFT.
ICSI, IUI and GIFT are other assisted reproductive techniques and are not the test-tube baby procedure.
2011 AIPMT-MAINS 1 question
-
The technique called gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is recommended for those femalesGIFT (gamete intra fallopian transfer) is the transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the Fallopian tube of another female.
NCERT states that it is used for a female who cannot produce an ovum but can provide a suitable environment for fertilisation and further development.
Fertilisation then takes place inside her body (in vivo).
If the female could not provide a suitable environment for fertilisation, in vitro fertilisation followed by embryo transfer (ZIFT/IUT) would be used; a female who cannot retain the foetus would need a surrogate.
Hence GIFT is recommended for females who cannot produce an ovum.

-
In vitro fertilisation is a technique that involves transfer of which one of the following into the Fallopian tube?In in vitro fertilisation (IVF), ova from the wife or donor and sperms from the husband or donor are collected and induced to form a zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. This is followed by embryo transfer (ET).
The zygote or early embryos with up to 8 blastomeres are transferred into the Fallopian tube; this is ZIFT (zygote intra Fallopian transfer).
Embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus; this is IUT (intra uterine transfer).
Hence IVF involves transfer of either the zygote or an early embryo up to the 8-cell stage into the Fallopian tube.
