An adult-cell cloning programme has the success rates shown in the table.

StageSuccess rate
Reconstructed eggs develop into embryos20% of reconstructed eggs
Transferred embryos establish pregnancies25% of transferred embryos
Established pregnancies produce live young40% of established pregnancies

Every embryo produced is transferred. Assuming these rates remain constant, how many reconstructed eggs are expected to be needed to produce 30 live young?

A

150 reconstructed eggs

B
