(a) The most likely defect in the reproductive system of this woman is a blocked oviduct.
(b) The technique by which this woman can also have a baby is IVF.
Explanation:
The technique which is used to help a woman with blocked oviducts to have a baby is In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). IVF is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro (in glass). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. After the fertilised egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the same or another woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
