Assertion : In test-tube baby program, ova from wife/donor (female) and sperms from husband/donor (male) are collected and are induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in laboratory.
Reason : Embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are then transferred to fallopian tube (ZIFT) to complete its further development.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in the test-tube baby program, ova from the wife or a donor and sperm from the husband or a donor are collected and induced to form a zygote under simulated conditions in a laboratory. - This process is known as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). It is indeed true that the ova and sperm are collected and fertilization occurs in a controlled laboratory environment. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transferred to the fallopian tube (ZIFT) to complete their further development. - This statement is incorrect. In reality, embryos with up to 8 blastomeres are transferred to the fallopian tube (ZIFT), while embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are typically transferred to the uterus (IUT). 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion is true as it accurately describes the IVF process. - The reason is false because it misstates the conditions under which embryos are transferred. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **3**: Assertion is true but reason is false.
