III CASE BASED MCQs:
1. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) refers
to treatment and procedures that aim to achieve
pregnancy. These complex procedures may be
an option for people who have already gone
through various infertility treatment options but
who still have not achieved pregnancy. The main
type of ART is In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), IVF
involves extracting a womans eggs. fertilising the
eggs in the laboratory and then transferring the
resulting embryos into the woman's uterus
through the cervix. ART success rates vary in
the context of patient and treatment
characteristics, such as age, infertility diagnosis,
number of embryos transferred, type of ART
procedure, use of techniques such as ICSI and
history of previous births, miscarriages and ART
cycles.

for the biological mother to nurse the embryo is
called
(a) interrogate mother (b) surrogate mother
(c) None of these (d)Both(a) and (b)
(ii) The stage of cells at which it is transferred
into the uterus after induced fertilisation of ova
in the laboratory is
(a) embryo at 4 blastomeres stage
(b) embryo at 2 blastomeres stage.
(c) morula
(d) zygote
(iii) Artificial reproductive techniques are not
always applicable because
(a) it is an expensive technique, hence only few
people can afford it
(b) it is not possible in women with damaged
uterine wall
(c) it has raised ethical, legal and moral
concerns
(d) All of the above
(iv) Assertion (A) Both ZIFT and IUT are embryo
transfer techniques.
Reason (R) In both ZIFT and IUT, the number of
cells in zygote is same.
(a) If both A and R are true and R is the correct
explanation of A
(b) If both A and R are true, but R is not the
correct explanation of A
(c) If A is true, but R is false
(d) If both A and R are false
