Answer
Assisted reproductive technologies are methods used to help infertile couples conceive. In vitro fertilisation is the fusion of the ovum and sperm outside the body, the embryo then being transferred to the uterus. Zygote intra-fallopian transfer is the transfer of a zygote or an early embryo of up to eight blastomeres into the fallopian tube.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Transfer of an embryo of more than eight blastomeres into the uterus is called intra-uterine transfer.
