 | Nikita Singh answered |
In ET (embryo transfer) technique, in vitro fertilized embryo is transferred into the fallopian tube or uterus for further development.
- In this type of technique, male and female gametes are fused outside the mother's body. It is used either when the male cannot produce enough sperms to fertilize the ovum or the females can not release ova for the purpose.
- After the embryo reaches 8 celled stages, known as the morula, it is transferred to the female fallopian tubule. If it is in the 16 celled stages, known as blastomere, it is transferred directly to the female uterus.
Embryo Transfer technique:
Hence, the correct option is C.

 | Preeti Iyer answered |
When females cannot conceive then embryo transfer is done by using ZIFT and IUT technique. In this method, ova from female & sperms from male is collected and are induced in the laboratory under simulated conditions to form a zygote. The zygote with up to 8 blastomeres is transferred into the fallopian tube through ZIFT or embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus through IUT.

a) Most birth control pills are "combination pills" containing a mix of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation.
b) A condom acts as a physical barrier that prevents sperm from entering the uterus and reaching an egg.
c) The testes still make sperm, but the sperm die and are absorbed by the body. A man who has had a vasectomy still makes semen and is able to ejaculate. But the semen doesn't contain sperm.
d) The copper IUD works by stopping the sperm and egg meeting and changing the lining of the uterus/womb. This makes it difficult for a fertilised egg to stick to the lining to start a pregnancy. When it is first inserted (put in) it starts working straight away to prevent pregnancy.

Lactational amenorrhea is a natural form of birth control that occurs when a woman is breastfeeding. It is caused by the hormones that are released during breastfeeding, which suppress ovulation. This means that women who are breastfeeding may not ovulate and therefore may not have a menstrual period for a period of time after giving birth.
Maximum Period after Parturition:
The maximum period after parturition during which lactational amenorrhea can prevent chances of fertilization is six months. After this time, the hormones that suppress ovulation begin to decrease, and the chances of ovulation and subsequent fertilization increase. Therefore, women who rely on lactational amenorrhea as a form of birth control should use another method of contraception after six months postpartum.
Effectiveness:
Lactational amenorrhea can be an effective form of birth control if certain conditions are met. These conditions include:
- The woman is exclusively breastfeeding, meaning that she is not giving the baby any other food or drink besides breast milk.
- The baby is less than six months old.
- The woman has not had a menstrual period since giving birth.
If these conditions are met, lactational amenorrhea can be up to 98% effective in preventing pregnancy. However, if any of these conditions change (for example, if the woman begins to supplement with formula or if the baby becomes older than six months), the effectiveness of lactational amenorrhea may decrease.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, lactational amenorrhea is a natural form of birth control that can be effective for up to six months postpartum. Women who rely on lactational amenorrhea as a form of birth control should be aware of its limitations and should use another form of contraception after the six-month period has ended.

Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic procedure that involves the removal of a small amount of amniotic fluid from the sac surrounding the fetus. This procedure is performed during the second trimester of pregnancy, typically between the 15th and 20th week.
Detection of Genetic Disorders:
The main purpose of amniocentesis is to detect genetic disorders in the developing fetus. The amniotic fluid contains cells shed by the fetus, which can be analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities or genetic mutations. This information can help parents and healthcare providers prepare for the birth of a child with a genetic disorder.
Procedure:
During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted through the belly into the amniotic sac, where a small amount of amniotic fluid is collected. The procedure is guided by ultrasound imaging to ensure that the needle is safely inserted and to monitor the fetus during the procedure. The collected fluid is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Risks:
Although amniocentesis is generally considered safe, there are some risks involved. These include a small risk of miscarriage or infection, as well as the possibility of injury to the fetus or mother during the procedure. However, the benefits of amniocentesis in detecting genetic disorders often outweigh these risks.
In conclusion, amniocentesis is a valuable tool for detecting genetic disorders during pregnancy, and it can help parents and healthcare providers make informed decisions about the care and treatment of the developing fetus.

 | Shounak Patel answered |
Method of Birth Control: Abstaining from Coitus from Day 10 to 17 of the Menstrual Cycle
Explanation:
Abstaining from coitus from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle is a legal method of birth control. This method is also known as the "rhythm method" or "calendar method." The menstrual cycle typically lasts for 28 days, and ovulation occurs around day 14. By abstaining from sexual intercourse during days 10-17, one can avoid the fertile period of the menstrual cycle and prevent pregnancy.
Advantages:
1. This method is free and does not require any special equipment or medication.
2. It is a natural method and does not involve any hormonal changes in the body.
3. It can be used by couples who have religious or moral objections to other forms of birth control.
Disadvantages:
1. This method requires a high degree of discipline and consistency to be effective.
2. It is not suitable for women with irregular menstrual cycles.
3. There is still a small risk of pregnancy, as ovulation can occur earlier or later than expected.
Conclusion:
Abstaining from coitus from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle is a legal and natural method of birth control. However, it requires careful planning and consistency to be effective. Couples should be aware of the advantages and disadvantages before choosing this method of birth control.

| | Akanksha Das answered |
ZIFT (Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer) involves the transfer of an embryo at the 8-celled stage into the fallopian tube of a female. This is a type of assisted reproductive technology used to treat infertility.
Process of ZIFT:
The process of ZIFT involves the following steps:
1. Ovarian Stimulation: The female patient is given medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
2. Egg Retrieval: The eggs are retrieved from the ovaries using a needle guided by ultrasound.
3. Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish to create embryos.
4. Embryo Transfer: The embryos are transferred into the fallopian tube through a laparoscopic procedure.
5. Pregnancy Test: The patient is monitored for pregnancy through a blood test or ultrasound.
Advantages of ZIFT:
1. Higher Success Rates: ZIFT has higher success rates compared to traditional IVF methods.
2. Natural Implantation: The embryo is transferred into the fallopian tube, which is a natural environment for implantation, increasing the chances of pregnancy.
3. Fewer Multiple Pregnancies: ZIFT reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies compared to other assisted reproductive technologies.
Disadvantages of ZIFT:
1. Invasive Procedure: ZIFT requires a laparoscopic procedure, which is an invasive procedure that carries risks.
2. Limited Availability: ZIFT is not widely available in all fertility clinics.
3. Higher Cost: ZIFT is more expensive than traditional IVF methods.

Preventing Transmission of STDs
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are spread through sexual contact. The following measures can help in preventing the transmission of STDs:
Using Condoms during Intercourse
Using condoms is one of the most effective ways to prevent the transmission of STDs during sexual activity. Condoms act as a barrier and reduce the risk of infection. They should be used consistently and correctly to maximize their effectiveness.
Avoiding Sex with Multiple Partners
Having sex with multiple partners increases the risk of contracting STDs. Limiting sexual partners or being in a mutually monogamous relationship can decrease the risk of transmission.
Visiting a Qualified Doctor if Symptoms are Observed
If an individual experiences symptoms such as genital sores, abnormal discharge, or pain during urination, they should visit a qualified doctor. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent the spread of STDs.
Not Sharing Shaving Blades with Friends
Sharing personal items such as shaving blades, towels, or underwear can increase the risk of transmission of STDs. It is important to use personal items and avoid sharing them with others to prevent the spread of infection.
Conclusion
Preventing the transmission of STDs is crucial for maintaining sexual health. Using condoms, limiting sexual partners, seeking medical attention if symptoms are observed, and avoiding sharing personal items can all help decrease the risk of infection.

 | Akshara Choudhary answered |
The risky period of conception in the menstrual cycle is the ovulation period, which occurs around the 14th day of a 28-day menstrual cycle.
Explanation:
- Menstrual cycle is the regular natural change that occurs in the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible.
- The menstrual cycle is typically 28 days long, but can vary from 21 to 35 days.
- The cycle is divided into three phases: the follicular phase (days 1-14), ovulation (day 14), and the luteal phase (days 15-28).
- Ovulation is the process where an egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by sperm.
- Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle.
- The period around ovulation is considered the risky period of conception, as it is the time when the egg is available to be fertilized by sperm.
- Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, so the fertile window for conception is actually the five days leading up to ovulation, as well as ovulation day itself.
- Therefore, the risky period of conception is considered to be from the 10th to the 17th day of the menstrual cycle (assuming a 28-day cycle).

Test-tube Baby Programme and Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT)
The Test-tube Baby Programme is a fertility treatment that involves combining sperm and eggs outside the body in a laboratory dish, and then transferring the resulting embryo into the woman's uterus. Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is one of the techniques used in the Test-tube Baby Programme.
Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT)
Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is a fertility treatment that involves the following steps:
1. Egg Retrieval: The woman undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs. The eggs are then retrieved from the ovaries using a transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle.
2. Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are combined with sperm in a laboratory dish.
3. Zygote Formation: The fertilized eggs develop into zygotes (fertilized eggs).
4. Zygote Transfer: The zygotes are transferred into the woman's fallopian tubes using a laparoscope.
5. Implantation: The zygotes implant in the woman's uterus and develop into embryos.
Comparison with other techniques
Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Intra uterine insemination (IUI), and Gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT) are other techniques used in the Test-tube Baby Programme. However, Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is different from these techniques in the following ways:
- Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg. This technique is used when the man has a low sperm count or poor sperm motility. ZIFT, on the other hand, involves the transfer of fertilized eggs (zygotes) into the fallopian tubes.
- Intra uterine insemination (IUI) involves placing sperm inside the woman's uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. This technique is used when the man has a low sperm count or poor sperm motility. ZIFT, on the other hand, involves the transfer of fertilized eggs (zygotes) into the fallopian tubes.
- Gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT) involves placing eggs and sperm into the woman's fallopian tubes to allow fertilization to occur naturally. This technique is used when the man's sperm count and motility are normal, and the woman's fallopian tubes are healthy. ZIFT, on the other hand, involves the transfer of fertilized eggs (zygotes) into the fallopian tubes.
Conclusion
Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is a technique used in the Test-tube Baby Programme that involves the transfer of fertilized eggs (zygotes) into the woman's fallopian tubes.

| | Suresh Iyer answered |
- Lactational amenorrhea method is based on the fact that ovulation and therefore the menstrual cycle does not occur during the period of intense lactation following parturition. This is because breastfeeding disrupts the pulsatile release of GnRH from the hypothalamus and reduces gonadotropin-releasing hormones.
- Pills are hormonal preparations (either progesterone or progestogen- estrogen combinations) in the form of tablets which are administered orally by females. They inhibit ovulation, implantation as well as alter the quality of cervical mucus.
- Emergency contraceptives are pills that contain levonorgestrel, a type of progestin that helps to prevent pregnancy when taken in few days after sex.

 | Ankit Patel answered |
Oral contraceptive pills are a type of hormonal birth control method that contain synthetic versions of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy in several ways:
Preventing Ovulation
- The primary way that contraceptive pills prevent pregnancy is by preventing ovulation. Ovulation is the process in which an egg is released from the ovary and can be fertilized by sperm. By taking the pill regularly, the hormones in the pill signal to the body that ovulation has already occurred, which prevents the release of an egg. Without an egg, there is no chance of fertilization and pregnancy cannot occur.
Thickening Cervical Mucus
- In addition to preventing ovulation, contraceptive pills also thicken the cervical mucus. The cervix is the opening at the bottom of the uterus that leads to the vagina. Normally, the cervical mucus is thin and watery, which allows sperm to swim through it and reach the egg. However, when a woman is taking contraceptive pills, the hormones in the pill cause the cervical mucus to thicken and become more viscous, making it more difficult for sperm to penetrate and reach the egg.
Altering the Uterine Lining
- Lastly, contraceptive pills can also alter the lining of the uterus. The lining of the uterus is where a fertilized egg implants and grows into a fetus. The hormones in the pill can change the lining of the uterus to make it less hospitable to a fertilized egg, making it less likely that a pregnancy will occur even if an egg is released and fertilized.
By working together in these ways, contraceptive pills are highly effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly and consistently.

The purpose of MTP is to prevent an unwanted pregnancy that could have arisen due to casual unprotected coitus or incorrect use of contraceptive or due to rapes. They are also aimed at rescuing mothers from fatal pregnancies or from preventing parents from the shocks and expenses of a fatal fetus. They are not designed for female foeticide. Hence female foeticide has been illegalized by the Government of India.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are spread through sexual contact. They are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some STDs can be cured with antibiotics or other treatments, while others are long-term and can cause serious health problems.
The correct option including all the sexually transmitted diseases is option 'D' which lists the following:
1. Gonorrhoea - caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, it can infect the urethra, cervix, rectum, and throat. Symptoms include painful urination, discharge, and bleeding.
2. Syphilis - caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, it can cause sores, rashes, and other symptoms. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications like blindness, heart disease, and dementia.
3. Genital herpes - caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), it can cause painful blisters and sores in the genital area. It is a chronic condition that can be managed with antiviral medication.
Prevention and Treatment
STDs can be prevented by practicing safe sex, which includes using condoms and getting tested regularly. Treatment for STDs varies depending on the infection, but can include antibiotics, antiviral medication, and other therapies. It is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent complications and the spread of the infection to others.

In case of ovarian cycle, there are three phases as follicular phase, ovulation and luteal phase.
In the first phase, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is released. This stimulates the ovarian follicles. In the second phase, when the egg has nearly matured, levels of estrogen reaches a threshold. During the last phase, the pituitary hormones, FSH and LH causes the corpus luteum to produce progesterone.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Abortions could occur spontaneously too. The reason for this could be any physiological problem in the mother or foetus or both. During complete lactation, there is no ovulation and thus chances of conceiving are nil or less during this period. Creating awareness about reproduction by audio-visual and print media, governmental and non-governmental agencies help in creating a reproductively healthy society. Infertility is the inability to produce viable offspring due to defects in either male or female or both the partners.

 | Mohit Rajpoot answered |
To determine which indicators reflect improved reproductive health, consider the following:
- (a) More couples with larger families: This is not an indicator of improved reproductive health, as larger family sizes can be associated with higher birth rates and potentially lower access to family planning resources.
- (b) Better detection and cure of STIs: Improved detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are indicators of better reproductive health, as it enhances overall sexual health and reduces the spread of infections.
- (c) Better post-natal care: Enhanced post-natal care is a significant indicator of improved reproductive health, as it contributes to the health and well-being of both mothers and newborns.
- (d) Increased number of medically assisted deliveries: More medically assisted deliveries, such as those attended by trained professionals, indicate improved reproductive health as they contribute to safer childbirth practices.
- (e) Increased IMR (Infant Mortality Rate): An increased IMR indicates poorer reproductive health, as it reflects higher rates of infant deaths.
Thus, the indicators of improved reproductive health are (b), (c), and (d). Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: Three.

Incorrect Statements:
(i) Condoms decrease sperm motility.
(ii) Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are for both males and females.
Explanation:
- Condoms, when used correctly, are highly effective in preventing pregnancy. They act as a barrier method, preventing sperm from reaching the egg. They do not decrease sperm motility but rather prevent sperm from entering the vagina. Therefore, statement (i) is incorrect.
- Diaphragms, cervical caps, and vaults are contraceptive devices that are designed to be used by females. They are inserted into the vagina to cover the cervix and prevent sperm from entering the uterus. These devices are not designed for use by males. Therefore, statement (ii) is incorrect.
Correct Statements:
(iii) IUDs are inserted by expert nurses.
(iv) Sterilisation is a terminal method to prevent further pregnancy.
Explanation:
- Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. While they can be inserted by healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, it is not limited to expert nurses only. Therefore, statement (iii) is correct.
- Sterilization is a permanent method of contraception that involves the surgical blocking or sealing of the fallopian tubes in females or the vas deferens in males. It is a highly effective method of preventing further pregnancies. Therefore, statement (iv) is correct.
Conclusion:
The option that contains both incorrect statements is option (b) - (i) and (ii). Condoms do not decrease sperm motility, and diaphragms, cervical caps, and vaults are not designed for use by males.

In sterilisation method method, tubectomy or vasectomy is used in which the fallopian tube and vas deferens are cut respectively. This prevents the transfer of sperms in males and ova in females for fertilisation permanently. So this is the safest method.

- I - F (IVF): In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves the collection of gametes and their fertilization in the laboratory to form a zygote.
- II - B (ZIFT): Zygote intra-fallopian tube transfer (ZIFT) involves transferring a zygote or early embryo (up to 8 blastomeres) into the oviduct.
- III - E (IUT): Intrauterine transfer (IUT) involves transferring a zygote with more than 8 blastomeres into the uterus.
- IV - H (In-vivo fertilization): Fusion of gametes within the female, which is the natural process of fertilization.
- V - A (GIFT): Gamete intra-fallopian tube transfer (GIFT) involves transferring ovum from a donor to the oviduct of the recipient.
- VI - D (ICSI): Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting sperm directly into the ovum in vitro.
Thus, the correct match is: I - F, II - B, III - E, IV - H, V - A, VI - D.

 | Lead Academy answered |
The most effective strategy for addressing myths and misconceptions about reproductive health among adolescents is to integrate sex education into school curricula and support it with community-based programs. This approach ensures that accurate information is provided in a structured educational environment and reinforced through various media channels and community efforts. Solely focusing on disease prevention, relying on informal dissemination, or enforcing regulations without educational support would not be as comprehensive in fostering a well-informed and healthy society.

Small doses of either progestogens or progesterone-estrogen combinations are used in the form of tablets by females called oral pills. Pills inhibit ovulation and implantation as well as alter the quality of cervical mucus to prevent or retard entry of sperms inside female genital tract.
