What are Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) & Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT):
Both are procedures of fertilization outside the body.
Both involve the transfer of embryos into the uterus.
GIFT involves the transfer of gametes into the fallopian tube, while ZIFT involves the transfer of fertilized eggs into the fallopian tube.
GIFT is more commonly used than ZIFT.
Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) and Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) are two other types of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) used to treat infertility.
GIFT involves the transfer of sperm and eggs (gametes) into the fallopian tube, where fertilization occurs naturally. This method requires a functioning fallopian tube and is typically used in cases where the male partner has low sperm count or motility, or where there are ovulation problems in the female partner. GIFT is a procedure of fertilization inside the body.
ZIFT involves the transfer of fertilized eggs (zygotes) into the fallopian tube. In this method, eggs are retrieved from the woman's ovaries and fertilized in the lab using IVF techniques. The resulting zygotes are then transferred into the fallopian tube. ZIFT is also a procedure of fertilization inside the body. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
