Which of the following statements is true regarding Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)?
The embryo transfer is done in the uterus
The fertilized egg is transferred directly into the uterus
The fertilized egg is transferred directly into the fallopian tube
The procedure is also referred to as intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where the fertilized egg is transferred directly into the fallopian tube, instead of the uterus like in IVF. This allows for a more natural process of fertilization and implantation to occur. The procedure is also referred to as tubal embryo transfer (TET). ZIFT is different from Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), which is a procedure where sperm is placed directly into the uterus to facilitate fertilization. Hence option 3 is the correct answer.
