_____ uses a blastomere biopsy to obtain a cell to test for genetic and chromosomal abnormalities.
A)Cytoplasmic donation
B)Intrauterine insemination
C)Oocyte donation
D)Preimplantation genetic diagnosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) uses a blastomere biopsy to obtain a cell from the developing embryo, which is then tested for genetic and chromosomal abnormalities before being implanted in the uterus. Cytoplasmic donation involves directly transferring cytoplasm from a healthy donor egg to the recipient egg, intrauterine insemination involves injecting sperm directly into the uterus, and oocyte donation involves using eggs from a donor instead of the intended mother. None of these techniques involve blastomere biopsy for genetic testing.
