Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm into an egg retrieved from the female partner through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This method is commonly used in cases where the male partner has a low sperm count or has difficulty ejaculating. In Jeremy's case, ICSI can be used using his sperm to fertilize his partner's egg, allowing him to become a biological father. Options A and D involve the use of donor sperm or a surrogate mother, respectively, both of which would not result in Jeremy being a biological father. Option B, gamete interfallopian transfer, is not suitable for Jeremy's situation as it involves transferring a mixture of sperm and eggs directly into the fallopian tubes, which he would not be able to provide.
