Answer» Inability to conceive or produce children even after 2 years of unprotected sexual cohabitation is called infertility. Various methods are now available to help such couples. These are– (i) In vitro fertilization – Fertilization outside the body in almost similar condition as that in the body. (ii) Embryo transfer – Ova from the wife/donar (female) and sperms from the husband/donar (male) are collected and are induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. The zygote or early embryos (with 8 blastomeres) could then be transfered into the fallopian tube and embryos with more than 8 blastomeres into the uterus, to complete its further development. |
