Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In vitro fertilization involves the fertilization of an oocyte by sperm in a laboratory dish, not through artificial insemination with semen from the woman's husband or a donor. Option A refers to artificial insemination, while option B involves the use of a secondary oocyte donor. Option D involves treatment with FSH and artificial insemination with donated semen, which is not necessarily part of in vitro fertilization. Therefore, option C is the only accurate description of in vitro fertilization.
