At which stage, the embryos are implanted in the uterus of surrogate mothers in MOET technology ?
- AJust fertilized eggs
- BGastrula
- Correct answerC8 to 32 celled blastocysts
- DBlastula
Solution
In Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) technology, a cow is administered hormones with FSH-like activity to induce follicular maturation and superovulation.
The animal is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated.
The fertilised eggs at the $8$ to $32$ cells stages are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.
The genetic mother is available for another round of superovulation.
Answer: 8 to 32 celled blastocysts
