What do you mean by test-tube baby?

Solution

Babies born through the technique of in vitro fertiliztion are called test-tube babies. In in vitro fertilisation, freshly released egg and sperms are collected and kept together for a few hours in a test tube for fertilization. After fertilization , the zygote formed is allowed to develop for a week and then is placed inside the mother's uterus where further development takes place.
