Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the cutting or sealing of the vas deferens, which prevents the release of sperm during ejaculation. Tubal ligation, on the other hand, involves the blocking or sealing of the fallopian tubes, which prevents the egg from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Both methods are generally irreversible and are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Choices A, B, D and E are not irreversible and do not block the gametes from moving to a site where fertilization can occur.
