Transfer of a zygote or an early embryo of up to 8 blastomeres into the fallopian tube is called
AIUT
BGIFT
CICSI
DZIFT
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. ZIFT
1. After laboratory fertilisation the embryo has to be placed back appropriately.
2. A zygote or early embryo with up to 8 blastomeres goes into the fallopian tube.
3. That transfer is zygote intra fallopian transfer, abbreviated ZIFT.
4. Embryos with more than 8 blastomeres go into the uterus instead, which is intra uterine transfer.
5. The blastomere count is what decides between the two, so it is the detail worth remembering.
