Question

During MOET, at which cell stage embryo is transferred to a surrogate mother ?

• A. 8 - 16 cell stage
• B. 8 - 32 cell
• C. 16 to 48 cell stage
• D. 100 cell stage

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

8 - 32 cell

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology(MOET) as the name suggests animals produce multiple eggs i.e ., 6-8 eggs instead of one with the help of hormones like FSH (to induce superovulation). The animal is mated and the fertilised egg is transferred at 8-32 cells stage to surrogate mothers.

So the correct option is '8-32 cells stages'.
