Question

In MOET technique, the superior cows are administered with ___(i)___. The ___(ii)___ are released by the ovaries. Then semen from the superior bull is deposited in the female through artificial insemination once fertilized, the ___(iii)___ are recovered. Injections like ___(iv)___ and prostaglandins are given to the recipients accordingly. The recipient of an embryo is called ___(v)___.

• A. (i) FSH (ii) Eggs (iii) Embryos (iv) Progesterone (v) Surrogate
• B. (i) Progesterone (ii) Eggs (iii) Embryos (iv) FSH (v) Surrogate
• C. (i) FSH (ii) Embryos (iii) Eggs (iv) Progesterone (v) Surrogate
• D. (i) Progesterone (ii) Embryos (iii) Eggs (iv) FSH (v) Surrogate

Answer 1

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.
