The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that in the MOET (Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer) technique, hormones with progesterone-like activity are given to cows to induce super-ovulation. - **Analysis**: In MOET, the hormone primarily used to induce super-ovulation is Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), not progesterone. Progesterone is involved in maintaining pregnancy but does not induce super-ovulation. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that after mating, embryos at the 4-6 cell stage are recovered and transferred to a surrogate mother. - **Analysis**: In the MOET process, embryos are typically transferred at the 8-32 cell stage, not at the 4-6 cell stage. Therefore, this statement is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. - **Assertion**: False (FSH is used for super-ovulation, not progesterone). - **Reason**: False (Embryos are transferred at the 8-32 cell stage, not 4-6). 4. **Final Answer**: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
