The Test-tube Baby Programme employs which one of the following techniques?
A Zygote intra fallopian transfer (ZIFT)
B Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
C Intra uterine insemination (IUI)
D Gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT)

Detailed Solution

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.
