• C. The fertilised eggs are recovered non surgically and transferred to genetic mother
• D. In this method,a cow administered hormones with FSH- like activity.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The fertilised eggs are recovered non surgically and transferred to genetic mother

MOET or multiple ovulation and embryo transfer is a technique aimed at increasing the reproductive rate of animals and hence, increasing the herd size in a short time. In this technique, a female is administered with hormones having FSH-like activity. The higher number of eggs produced are fertilized via insemination and are recovered non-surgically and transferred to another female. It has been tried in animals like cattle, camel, rabbit, etc.

So, the correct answer is 'The fertilized eggs are recovered non surgically and transferred to genetic mother'.
