Correct answer: B
The correct answer is :
Option B : Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
Here's why :
Statement I is incorrect. Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized form of in-vitro (not in-vivo) fertilisation where a single sperm is injected directly into the egg to facilitate fertilisation. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the woman's uterus.
Statement II is correct. Infertility cases due to inability of the male partner to inseminate the female can indeed be addressed through Artificial Insemination (AI). In AI, sperm (either from the woman's partner or a donor) is artificially inserted directly into the woman's cervix or uterus. This procedure can be used in cases where the male partner has low sperm count or poor sperm mobility, or if there are issues with sperm delivery.
