(a)
In certain cases, where normal fertilization is not possible, ovum from the female and the sperm from the male are fused by in vitro technique. The zygote, later on, is implanted in the uterus, where futher development takes place. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards first time developed ‘test tube baby technique’ in 1978.
