Question

Kamlesh thinks that to produce test tube babies, an egg and sperm are placed in a test tube and then allowed to fuse under controlled conditions. The baby then develops in the test tube.

Is Kamlesh correct? Which part of his thinking is incorrect?

Accepted Answer

Test tube baby is an advanced technology to treat infertility in animals. In this technique, fertilisation is carried out artificially in a test tube under controlled conditions. After a week, the zygote turns into a mass of cells in the laboratory.

The mass of cells is then transferred into the uterus of females with the help of a specific syringe passing through the vagina. The further development till the birth takes place inside the uterus.

Kamlesh was partially correct in saying that egg and sperm are fused in a test tube, but the development of the baby takes place in the uterus, not in the test tube.
