Solution

The correct option is A (i) FSH (ii) Eggs (iii) Embryos (iv) Progesterone (v) Surrogate
In order to get superior quality cattle, farmers spend a lot of money procuring the sperm of a high quality male and multiple ovulation embryo transfer method helps them to obtain multiple progenies from a single purchase. A superior female is chosen and FSH is administered so that multiple eggs are released. Now the sperm that was purchased is deposited in the superior female and once fertilized the embryos from these superior female are recovered. The multiple embryos thus produced can be transferred to surrogate mothers.The synchronization of cycles of the recipients and genetic mothers can be done by using hormone injections. Surrogate mothers are injected with progesterone and prostaglandins so that they are at the same stage of the cycle as the birth mother, but have not been mated. The body of these recipients accept most of these embryos and the progeny is then born normally.
