The correct answer is (D) : 8-32 celled stage.
In MoET technique, fertilized eggs are transferred into surrogate mother in which of the following stage?
The correct answer is: (D) 8-32 celled stage.
The MOET (Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer) technique is an advanced reproductive technology used in animal breeding, especially for increasing the number of offspring from a genetically superior female. In this technique, fertilized eggs are collected from the donor female after hormonal stimulation, and then these embryos are transferred to the surrogate mother for further development.
The fertilized eggs, or embryos, are transferred into the surrogate mother at the 8-32 celled stage. At this stage, the embryo has undergone a few rounds of division but is still at an early stage of development, making it suitable for implantation into the surrogate mother’s uterus.
Transferring embryos at this stage increases the chances of successful implantation and further development into a healthy offspring.
