Identify the incorrect statement regarding Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET):
| 1. | FSH like hormones or PMSG [pregnant mare serum gonadotropin] are used to induce super-ovulation [6 – 8 eggs rather than one per cycle] and Prostaglandins are used to regulate the duration of cycle. |
| 2. | Fresh embryos can be stored at 37ºC for 6 - 8 hours without much harm but it is recommended that the embryos are inserted into the recipient cow or frozen as soon as possible. The embryos can be stored forever in liquid nitrogen. |
| 3. | The animal is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated and the fertilised eggs at 8–32 cell stages are recovered non-surgically and transferred to genetic mothers. |
| 4. | The embryos are transferred to a recipient cow whose oestrous cycle is at the correct receptive stage. |

Consider the following statements regarding inbreeding in animal husbandry:
| I. | Inbreeding refers to the mating of more closely related individuals within the same breed for 4-6 generations. |
| II. | Inbreeding increases homozygosity and is necessary if we want to evolve a pure line in any animal. |
| III. | Inbreeding exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection and helps in the accumulation of superior genes. |
| IV. | Continued inbreeding usually reduces fertility and even productivity, called inbreeding depression, which can be overcome by mating selected animals of the breeding population with unrelated superior animals of the same breed. |
The correct statements are:
| 1. | I, II and III only | 2. | II, III and IV only |
| 3. | I, II and IV only | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
