CBSE · Class 10 · Science · How do Organisms Reproduce?Describe the role of surgical methods of contraception in males and females.
Step-by-Step Solution
Surgical methods provide a permanent form of contraception by blocking gamete transport. In males, the procedure is called vasectomy, where a small part of the vas deferens is cut or tied to prevent sperm transfer. In females, it is called tubectomy, where the fallopian tubes are blocked to prevent the egg from meeting the sperm, thus permanently preventing pregnancy.
