Question

Artificial Insemination is widely used for:

• A. Increasing inbreeding
• B. Rapid genetic improvement
• C. Decreasing fertility
• D. Producing clones

Hint:

AI = Use of superior semen → Faster genetic gain

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Artificial Insemination (AI) is a reproductive technology used to introduce semen from superior males into females to improve genetic quality.

Step 1: Understanding Artificial Insemination

• Semen collected from genetically superior males
• Used to inseminate multiple females

Step 2: Advantages of AI

• Rapid spread of superior genes
• Improved productivity (milk, meat)
• Controlled breeding

Step 3: Evaluating Options
Increasing inbreeding (A)

• AI reduces inbreeding risk Rapid genetic improvement (B)

• Main objective of AI
• Speeds up breeding progress Decreasing fertility (C)

• AI improves fertility management Producing clones (D)

• Cloning is a different biotechnology Final Conclusion: \[ \boxed{\text{Rapid genetic improvement}} \]
