'GIFT' refers to

  • A
    Gamete In vitro Fertilisation Technique
  • B
    Gamete Inter Fallopian Tube
  • Correct answer
    C
    Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer
  • D
    Gamete In vitro Fertilisation Transfer

Solution

Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) is an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). In this technique, eggs are removed from the woman and placed in one of the Fallopian tubes, alongwith the man's sperm. This allows fertilisation to take place inside the woman's body. Therefore, this variation is actually an in vivo fertilisation, not an in vitro fertilisation.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
