Which of the following statements about artificial reproductive technologies (ART) is incorrect?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) involves fertilization outside the female body.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is used when sperm count is low.
Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) involves transferring a fertilized embryo into the uterus.
Zygote Intra-Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT) transfers a zygote into the fallopian tube.
3

GIFT does not involve transferring a fertilized embryo into the uterus; instead, it transfers gametes into the fallopian tube for fertilization.

Which condition can arise due to the misuse of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act?

Decline in maternal mortality rate
Increase in female foeticide
Better postnatal care
Improved reproductive health
2

Misuse of the MTP Act for illegal sex determination can lead to an increase in female foeticide.

Which of the following conditions is a major cause of infertility in females?

Ectopic pregnancy
Endometriosis
High sperm motility
Increased estrogen production
2

Endometriosis is a major cause of infertility in females as it can lead to the formation of scar tissue that affects the function of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus.

Which of the following is a function of copper ions in copper-releasing IUDs?

Increase sperm motility
Enhance ovulation
Suppress sperm motility and fertilization capacity
Aid in the implantation of fertilized eggs
3

Copper ions released by IUDs suppress sperm motility and reduce their fertilization capacity.

Which of the following contraceptive methods prevents fertilization by altering the uterine lining?

Barrier methods
Oral contraceptive pills
Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
Tubectomy
3

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) such as Copper-T alter the uterine lining, making it unsuitable for implantation and preventing fertilization.

Which of the following is a major goal of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act?

To encourage abortion for any reason
To ensure safe abortions under medical supervision
To ban contraception
To promote gender-selective abortions
2

The MTP Act ensures that abortions are conducted safely under medical supervision under specific legal conditions.

Which hormone is primarily responsible for triggering ovulation in the menstrual cycle?

Progesterone
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) triggers ovulation, leading to the release of a mature egg from the ovary.

Which sterilization method is performed in males to prevent sperm transport?

Tubectomy
Vasectomy
Hysterectomy
Laparoscopy
2

Vasectomy is a surgical sterilization method in males where the vas deferens is cut or blocked to prevent sperm transport.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a barrier method of contraception?

It alters hormonal levels
It prevents sperm from reaching the ovum
It permanently prevents pregnancy
It involves surgical intervention
2

Barrier methods such as condoms and diaphragms work by preventing sperm from reaching the ovum, thereby preventing fertilization.

What is a significant ethical concern associated with amniocentesis?

Testing for genetic disorders
Detecting fetal abnormalities
Misuse for sex determination and female foeticide
Checking fetal blood group
3

Amniocentesis is sometimes misused for sex determination, leading to illegal female foeticide, which is a major ethical concern.
