Answer :

1.1.4 This question is about identifying the correct instrument used in the process of artificial insemination in cows. During this process, semen is deposited directly into the cow's reproductive tract. The correct option here is A) Pistolette/Insemination gun. This instrument, also called an insemination gun, is specifically designed for accurately depositing semen into the uterine body of the cow, which maximizes the likelihood of successful fertilization.

1.1.5 This question is about the typical temperature maintained in the artificial vagina during semen collection. The artificial vagina is an instrument used to collect semen from males, often used in artificial insemination programs. The temperature is crucial as it should mimic the body temperature of the animal to make the process comfortable and to maintain the viability of the sperm. The correct choice here is A) 37°C, which is close to the body temperature of most mammals and helps preserve both the quality and longevity of the sperm during collection.
