Question
Why is the term test tube baby a misnomer?
✓
Answer
The term test tube is a misnomer because the baby is not developed in the test tube; only fertilisation is carried out in the laboratory conditions (in vitro). The fertilised egg (zygote) or early embryo is then transferred into the fallopian tube or uterus of the mother where it develops and a normal baby is born.
