Question

Statement 1: Tubectomy is a procedure in which the fallopian tubes are cut or tied.
Statement 2: Vasectomy is a procedure in which the vas deferens is cut or tied. Select the correct statement:

• A. Both 1 and 2 are correct
• B. Only 1 is correct
• C. Only 2 is correct
• D. Both 1 and 2 are incorrect

Hint:

Remember: \[ \boxed{\text{Tubectomy} \rightarrow \text{Female sterilization}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Vasectomy} \rightarrow \text{Male sterilization}} \] Neither procedure affects the production of sex hormones.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Surgical methods of contraception are permanent methods used to prevent fertilization. The two common sterilization procedures are:

• Tubectomy – Performed in females by cutting or tying the fallopian tubes.

• Vasectomy – Performed in males by cutting or tying the vas deferens.
These procedures prevent the meeting of sperm and ovum without affecting hormone production.

Step 1: Examine Statement 1.
Tubectomy is a female sterilization method in which the fallopian tubes (oviducts) are cut and tied. This prevents the ovum from reaching the uterus and blocks fertilization. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement 1 is correct.}} \]

Step 2: Examine Statement 2.
Vasectomy is a male sterilization method in which the vas deferens is cut and tied. As a result, sperms cannot enter the semen during ejaculation. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement 2 is also correct.}} \]

Step 3: Choose the correct option.
Since both statements are true, \[ \boxed{\textbf{Option (A)}} \] is the correct answer.
