Question

Mention the role of ‘genetic mother’ in MOET.

Answer 1

In multiple ovulation embryo transfer (MOET), the genetic mother is administered hormones that induce follicular maturation and superovulation. After fertilisation, the eggs are transferred to a surrogate mother at the 8-32 cell stage for further development. The genetic mother can then be used for another round of superovulation.

Answer 2

The genetic mother in MOET induces super ovulation, producing 6-8 eggs per cycle instead of one, increasing embryo production.
