A childless couple has agreed to a test tube baby programmme . List only the basics steps the procedure would involve to conceive the baby .

Dear student, 
​Please find below the solution to the asked query        

Test tube baby method: Ova from the donor female or wife and the sperm from the donor male or husband are allowed to fuse under proper simulated condition in the laboratory as that of the body. It is called as IVF or invitro fertilization. (In vitro means outside the body).

The formed zygote is then transferred to the fallopian tube or uterus for further development. This is called ET or Embryo Transfer.

ET can be done in two methods.

1. ZIFT – Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer
2. IUT  - Intra Uterine Transfer.

• The zygote upto 8 blastomeres transferred to Fallopian tube and it is called ZIFT method.
• The zygote with more than 8 blastomeres transferred to uterus and is called IUT.​

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.    Regards
