Question

N ________ a single sperm cell from the man is injected using a microscopic needle, directly into each harvested egg from the woman. the resulting zygote is then transferred after a few days into the woman's uterus.

Answer 1

Microinjection is a simple mechanical process usually involving an inverted microscope with a magnification power of around 200x (though sometimes it is performed using a dissecting stereo microscope at 40–50x or a traditional compound upright microscope at similar power to an inverted model).
