Q183 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Zoology

Which of the following is not a step in Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET)?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Cow is administered hormone having LH like activity for superovulation
  • B
    Cow yields about 6-8 eggs at a time
  • C
    Cow is fertilized by artificial insemination
  • D
    Fertilized eggs are transferred to surrogate mothers at 8-32 cell stage

Solution

In MOET, a cow is administered with hormones having FSH-like activity, to induce maturation of follicles and superovulation, i.e. release of multiple eggs instead of a single egg in a normal oestrous cycle.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
