question 5 (2 points)
when an ovum is fertilized outside the females body and then transferred to her uterus, this is called _____.
a) ectopic pregnancy
b) zygote intrafallopian transfer
c) artificial insemination
d) in vitro fertilization

Explanation:

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process where an ovum is fertilized outside the female's body in a laboratory - like setting and then transferred to the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. Zygote intrafallopian transfer involves transferring the zygote into the fallopian tube, not the uterus after fertilization outside the body. Artificial insemination is the introduction of sperm into the female reproductive tract, not fertilization outside the body followed by uterine transfer.

Answer:

d) in vitro fertilization
