D) ​In-vitro fertilization

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the statement is in-vitro fertilization where mixing of sperm and egg cells happens in a Petri dish (in vitro) rather than inside the body. The fertilized eggs are then placed inside the mother's uterus with the hope that they will implant in the uterine wall and lead to pregnancy. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (A) involves placing unfertilized eggs and sperm directly in the fallopian tube. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (B) involves injecting a single sperm directly into the egg. Zygote intrafallopian transfer (C) involves placing fertilized eggs (zygotes) in the fallopian tube.
