Step-by-step solution
GIFT stands for Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer. It is an assisted reproductive technology used to overcome infertility in females who cannot produce an ovum. In this method, an ovum collected from a donor is transferred into the fallopian tube of the recipient female. The recipient female cannot produce an ovum but can provide a suitable environment for fertilization and further embryonic development.
