Answer :
Final answer:
Artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and surrogate motherhood are recent methods of assisted conception used to aid individuals or couples in becoming parents. Therefore, the correct answer is options 2) ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION, 3) IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, and 4) SURROGATE MOTHERHOOD.
Explanation:
Among the options provided, the recent methods of assisted conception include artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and surrogate motherhood. Artificial insemination is a relatively simple technique where sperm is directly inserted into a female's uterus. IVF is a more complex process where eggs are harvested from a woman, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting, and then the resulting embryo is transferred back to the woman's uterus or a surrogate mother. Surrogate motherhood involves another woman (the surrogate) carrying a pregnancy for those who are unable to do so themselves. The option that does not fit as a method of assisted conception is amniocentesis, as this is a diagnostic procedure, not a conception method.
