Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In vitro fertilization is a method that involves fertilizing ova with sperm in a dish (in vitro) outside of the woman's body and then placing the fertilized ova in the woman's uterus. Artificial insemination involves introducing sperm into a woman's reproductive system, but fertilization occurs inside the body. Chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis are prenatal tests that involve taking samples of the developing fetus for genetic testing, but do not involve fertilization.
