Select the correct statement:(1) Method of sterilization in males is V...
Explanation:
- The correct statement is option 'B' which states that statement 1 and 2 are correct.
- Let's discuss each statement in detail:
Statement 1: Method of sterilization in males is Vasectomy.
- This statement is correct. Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization or permanent contraception. It involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra.
Statement 2: Fallopian tubes of both sides are cut and tied in tubectomy.
- This statement is also correct. Tubectomy is a surgical procedure for female sterilization or permanent contraception. It involves cutting or blocking the fallopian tubes, which are responsible for carrying the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. By cutting and tying the fallopian tubes, the eggs are prevented from reaching the uterus, effectively preventing pregnancy.
Statement 3: Sterilization is a very effective method as it blocks gamete transport.
- This statement is incorrect. While sterilization methods like vasectomy and tubectomy are highly effective in preventing pregnancy, they do not block gamete transport completely. In both procedures, the reproductive organs are altered to prevent the meeting of sperm and egg, but the production and transport of gametes (sperm and eggs) still continue.
Statement 4: Test tube babies are the same as normal babies.
- This statement is incorrect. Test tube babies, also known as in vitro fertilization (IVF) babies, are conceived through a medical procedure where fertilization occurs outside the body. In IVF, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus for implantation. While IVF babies are just as normal and healthy as babies conceived naturally, the method of conception is different.
Therefore, the correct statement is option 'B' which states that statement 1 and 2 are correct.
