Separation of the twins in some cases is incomplete. Such a twin is called as

  1. Fraternal

  2. Siamese

  3. Identical

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fraternal twins are developed by fertilization of two eggs (ova) by two sperm to produce two genetically unique children. When a fertilized egg undergo splitting and develops two children having the same genetic information, identical twins are born. Identical twins with joined bodies are called as Siamese twins. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

The twins which are fused with each other wholly or in part called as

  1. Siamese twins

  2. Fraternal twins

  3. Identical twins

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fraternal twins occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterine wall at the same time that is when the mother releases two eggs and both become fertilized by two different sperms.
Identical twins occur when a single egg is fertilized by a single sperm to form one zygote, but the zygote divides into two separate embryos.
Siamese twins are conjoined twins that are monozygotic twins whose bodies are joined together at birth. This occurs where the single zygote of identical twins fails to separate completely perhaps because they split very late in the development.

Read the following statements.
(i) Birth control pills are likely to cause cardiovascular problems.
(ii) A woman who substitutes or takes the place -of the real mother to nurse the embryo is called surrogate mother.
(iii) Numerous children have been produced by in vitro fertilisation but with some abnormalities.
(iv) Woman plays a key role in the continuity of the family and human species.
(v) Foetal sex determination test should not be banned.
Which of the following pair consists of incorrect statement ?

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (iv)

  3. (iii) and (v)

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Numerous children have been produced by in vitro fertilisation without any abnormality. Foetal sex determination test should be banned as it is being misused for female foeticide.

In invitro fertilization, the foetus are allowed to develop outside the body.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In in-vitro fertilization, only the male and female gametes fuse outside the female body. After the formation of zygote, it is transferred in the female body.  

So the correct answer is false.

Which of the following breeding techniques is used to improve herd genetics?

  1. Artificial insemination

  2. Embryo transfer

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both the methods are used to improve the herd genetics by adding a new set of desired genes to the herd. This increases the quality of the gene pool of the herd.  

So the correct option is 'Both A & B'.

Transfer of ovum from donor to recipient oviduct is

  1. GIFT

  2. ICSI

  3. ZIFT

  4. ET


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

GIFT referred as a gamete intra Fallopian transfer. In this, the egg from the donor and the sperm from the father (or the donor male) is taken and are transferred to the oviduct or the Fallopian tube of the recipient. 

So the correct option is 'GIFT'.

Stage transferred to uterus after induced fertilization of ova in the laboratory is

  1. Embryo at two-blastomere stage

  2. Morula

  3. Zygote

  4. Embryo at four blastomere stage


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In Intra-Uterine Transfer (IUT) embryo with more than 8-blastomeres stage (morula) is used for transfer into the uterus after induced fertilisation in the laboaratory.

So, the correct answer is 'Morula'.

Assisted reproductive technology, IVF involves transfer of

  1. Zygote into fallopian tube

  2. Zygote into uterus

  3. Embryo with 16 blastomeres into the fallopian tube

  4. Ovum into fallopian tube


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In vitro fertilization is a method in which fertilization of male gamete (spermatozoon) and female gamete (ovum) outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body followed by zygote or embryo transfer(ET). The zygote or early embryo(upto 8 blastomeres stage) then transferred to fallopian tube called zygote intra fallopian transfer or ZIFT. So, the correct answer is 'Zygote into fallopian tube'.

Embryo with more than 16 blastomere formed due to in vitro fertilization is transferred into

  1. Cervix

  2. Uterus

  3. Fallopian tube

  4. Fimbriae


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The zygote or early embryo (upto 8 blastomeres stage) is transferred to fallopian tube called zygote intra fallopian transfer or ZIFT. IUT (Intrauterine transfer), the embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred into the uterus. So, the correct answer is 'Uterus'.

Consider the following statements.
In vitro micro propagation has the advantages of.
a. Range of variability
b. Year round availability
c. Small size of explants
d. Production of disease free prop gules.
Which of the statements given are correct?

  1. $1, 2$ and $4$ only

  2. $2, 3$ and $4$ only

  3. $1$ and $3$ only

  4. $1, 2, 3$ and $4$


Correct Option: A

Which one of the following technique has been widely used to overcome sexual incompatibility?

  1. In vitro fertilization

  2. Geitonogamy

  3. Allogamy

  4. Xenogamy


Correct Option: A

In vitro fertilisation is a technique that involves transfer of which one of the following into the Fallopian tube?

  1. Embryo only, upto $8$ cell stage

  2. Either zygote or early embryo upto $8$ cell stage

  3. Embryo of $32$ cell stage

  4. Zygote only


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

ZIFT ( Zygote Intrafallopian transfer) is a technique in which oocyte and sperms are taken and fertilization takes place outside the female's body i.e. in vitro. Early embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is transferred to the fallopian tube.

So the correct option is ' Either zygote or early embryo upto 8 cell stage '.

Embryo with more than $16$ blastomeres formed due to in vitro fertilisation into.

  1. uterus

  2. Fallopian tube

  3. fimbriae

  4. cervix


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In vitro fertilization stands for fertilization outside the body in almost similar condition as that in the body is a method of assisted reproductive technology. In this method to ovum from the wife or donor and sperm from the husband of doner are collected and fused to form zygote in the simulated condition in the laboratory. The zygote or the early embryo up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into the fallopian tube which is known as zygote intrafallopian transfer when the embryos are more than 8 blastomeres then they are transferred into the uterus and this is known as an intrauterine transfer.

So, the correct option is 'uterus'

Why ART procedure sometimes involves the use of donor eggs or donor sperms?

  1. A woman cannot produce ovum

  2. When a man or woman has genetic disease

  3. Problem in coitus

  4. Both (A) and (B)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Common methods of ART include:

1. In vitro fertilization (IVF) - Fertilization outside of the body. IVF is the most effective ART. It is often used when a woman’s fallopian tubes are blocked or when a man produces too few sperm. Doctors treat the woman with a drug that causes the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Once mature, the eggs are removed from the woman. They are put in a dish in the lab along with the man’s sperm for fertilization. After 3 to 5 days, healthy embryos are implanted in the woman’s uterus.

2. Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) or Tubal Embryo Transfer is similar to IVF- Fertilization occurs in the laboratory. Then the very young embryo is transferred to the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.

3. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) involves transferring eggs and sperm into the woman’s fallopian tube. So fertilization occurs in the woman’s body. Few practices offer GIFT as an option.

4. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is often used for couples in which there are serious problems with the sperm. Sometimes it is also used for older couples or for those with failed IVF attempts. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected into a mature egg. Then the embryo is transferred to the uterus or fallopian tube.

 ART procedures sometimes involve the use of donor eggs (eggs from another woman), donor sperm, or previously frozen embryos. Donor eggs are sometimes used for women who can not produce eggs. Also, donor eggs or donor sperm is sometimes used when the woman or man has a genetic disease that can be passed on to the baby.

 So, the correct answer is “Both A and B”.

In vitro fertilisation is a technique that involves transfer of which one of the following into the fallopian tube?

  1. Either zygote or early embryo up to 8 cell stage.
  2. Embryo of 32 cell stage

  3. Zygote only

  4. Embryo only, up to 8 cell stage


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

IVF or In Vitro fertilisation is an artificial method of fertilisation, for the parents who can't conceive naturally. In this process egg or ovum from the mother (or a donor female) and sperms from father is taken and are fertilised outside the mother's body, in the laboratory conditions. This is done in a large number, so as to ensure the fertilisation. Then this fertilised zygote(s) are implanted in the mother's (or a surrogate mother's) uterus.  

So, the correct option is  'Either zygote or early embryo up to 8 cell stage'.

Assisted Reproductive Technology, IVF involves transfer of 

  1. Zygote into fallopian tube

  2. Zygote into uterus

  3. Embryo with 16 blastomeres into the fallopian tube

  4. Ovum into fallopian tube


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

IVF is a technique of fertilisation done outside the mother's body . These fertilised zygotes (2 or 4) at 4-8 celled stage are placed in the fallopian tube of the mother by process of Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT). Excess fertilised eggs are cryopreserved for use in case of implantation failure 

So, the correct answer 'Zygote into fallopian tube'
