Question

Assertion (A): In multiple ovulation embryos transfer—MOЕТ technology, hormones with progesterone like activity are given to the cow to induce superovulation.

Reason (R): After mating, the embryos at 4-6 celled stage are recovered and transferred to surrogate mothers.

Options

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.

Explanation:

MOET uses hormones with FSH-like activity to induce superovulation, not hormones with progesterone-like activity. Fertilised embryos are transferred at the 8–32-cell stage, not the 4–6-cell stage.
