    Study Notes

    In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

    • In vitro fertilisation (IVF) involves the fertilisation of an egg outside the human body, typically in a laboratory dish.

    IVF Process

    • The purpose of transferring the fertilised egg into the uterus is to allow for implantation and subsequent pregnancy.

    Pre-implantation Genetic Testing

    • Pre-implantation genetic testing is conducted in IVF to identify genetic defects in embryos before they are transferred to the uterus.

    Surrogacy and IVF

    • A surrogate has a potential relationship with a child born through IVF, as they may be the biological carrier of the child, but not the biological parent.

    Fertility Tourism

    • Fertility tourism refers to the practice of traveling to another country or region for fertility treatment, such as IVF, due to factors like cost, legality, or access to certain procedures.

    Twin Development

    • Identical twins develop from one zygote and share the same genetic material.
    • Fraternal twins develop from two separate zygotes, each with their own unique genetic material.
    • A singleton is a fetus that develops alone in the womb.
    • A multiple birth refers to the birth of two or more offspring, with each offspring being referred to as a multiple.

    Unrelated Look-alikes

    • Dizygotic twins are the term for unrelated look-alikes whose resemblance parallels that of twins.
