What will happen if gametes are directly transferred to the uterus?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The procedure of GIFT involves the transfer of female gamete to the Fallopian tube. Gametes cannot be transferred to the uterus to achieve the same result because the uterine environment is not congenital for the survival of the gamete. If directly transferred to the uterus, they will undergo degeneration or could be phagocytosed and hence, viable zygote would not be formed.
