\nThese infections can be avoided or prevented by the following ways:
\n(i)Avoid sexual practices with unknown partners\/multiple partners.
\n(ii)Use of condoms during coitus.
\n(iii) In case of any doubt, visit a doctor immediately for detection and treatment.<\/p>\n\n
\nSome of the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) are:
\n(i)IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) or Test-Tube Baby Programme<\/p>\n\n
\nIUT (Intra Uterine Transfer), in which embryos of more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus.
\n(ii)GIFT (Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer) is done by the transfer of an ovum collected from a donor female into the Fallopian tube of another female, who is unable to produce ova, but can provide suitable conditions for fertilisation and further development.
\n(iii) ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is carried out by directly injecting sperm into the ovum to form an embryo in the laboratory. Embryo transfer is done later on.
\n(iv) AI (Artificial Insemination) is performed by collecting semen from the husband or a healthy donor and artificially introducing it either into the vagina or the uterus (intra uterine insemination). AI is used in cases where male partners are unable to inseminate the female or due to very low sperm counts in the ejaculate.<\/p>\nPrevious Year\u00a0Examination Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
1 Mark Question<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nAns.\u00a0AIDS<\/strong> (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is a STD that can be transmitted through\u00a0contaminated blood<\/p>\n2 Marks Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nAns<\/strong>.In gamete intra fallopian transfer, the ovum from a healthy donor female is transferred to a female, who cannot produce ova but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation and embryo development (in vivo fertilisation).
\nWhile in intra cytoplasmic sperm injection, the fertilisation is done in vitro by injecting sperms directly into the ovum, from a donor female, under simulated conditions. The embryo is thus, formed in laboratory and later transferred to uterus or Fallopian tube for further development<\/p>\n
\nUterine Transfer Technique (IUT) different from it? \u00a0 \u00a0[All India 2010]<\/strong>
\nAns.ZIFT (Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer) is the technique in which zygote or early embryo with upto 8 blastomeres is transferred into the Fallopian tube of female.
\nWhereas in IUT, embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred into the uterus.<\/p>\n
\n(ii) Test-tube baby programme is a boon to such couples. Explain the steps followed in the procedures.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [All India 2010 c]<\/strong>
\nAns<\/strong>.(i) The reasons of infertility in young people can be physical, congenital diseases, use of drugs, immunological or even psychological.\u00a0 ” \u00a0 \u00a0i
\n(ii) In test-tube programme<\/p>\n\n
\nZygote or embryo up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into Fallopian tube (ZIFT).
\nEmbryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred into uterus (IUT).<\/p>\n3 Marks Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nAns<\/strong>.\u00a0In case, if both husband and wife are producing functional gametes but wife is not able to conceive, the IVF technique can be best employed to bless them with child.
\nMethod of In vitro fertilisation:
\n(i) Gametes from both husband and wife are collected, i.e. sperm and ova and fused to form zygote under laboratory conditions. As fertilisation takes place outside the female body, it is referred to as in vitro fertilisation.
\n(ii) The zygote or embryo is then either transferred to Fallopian tubes (if up to 8 blastomeres), i.e. ZIFT ‘ or to the uterus (more than 8 blastomeres), i.e. IUT.<\/p>\n
\nAns<\/strong>.The two methods of ARTs (Assisted Reproductive Technologies) that has helped childless couples to bear children:
\n(i) Test-tube baby programme<\/strong>\u00a0.
\nIn test-tube programme<\/p>\n\n
\nZygote or embryo up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into Fallopian tube (ZIFT).
\nEmbryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred into uterus (IUT).
\n(ii) ICSI<\/strong> It is carried but by directly injecting sperm into the ovum to form an embryo in the laboratory.
\nEmbryo transfer is done later on.<\/p>\n\u00a05 Marks Question<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nGIFT different from intra uterine transfers? Expla[Foreign 2009]<\/strong>
\nAns<\/strong>.ARTs (Assisted Reproductive Technologies) are helpful to humans as they enable the infertile couple to have children. The ART techniques ZIFT and GIFT are different because\u00a0\u00a0ZIFT<\/strong> (Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer) is related to embryo transfer in the test-tube programme.
\nIn this technique, the zygote or embryo up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into the Fallopian tube.\u00a0GIFT<\/strong> (Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer) is the technique in which ovum collected from a donor\u00a0female is transferred into the Fallopian tube of another female, who cannot produce an ovum, but can \u00a0provide suitable conditions for fertilisation and further development.
\nWhereas, IUT<\/strong> (Intra Uterine Transfer) is the technique in which embryo of more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus.
