Which one of the following is an example of ex situ conservation ?

  1. Sacred groves
  2. Wildlife sanctuary
  3. National park
  4. Seed bank

Answer

(4) Seed bank

Solution

In situ conservation protects organisms in their natural habitat – sacred groves, wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, biosphere reserves.

Ex situ conservation protects organisms outside their natural habitat – zoological parks, botanical gardens, wildlife safari parks and seed banks.

As per NCERT, gametes and seeds can be preserved for long periods in seed banks (cryopreservation).

∴ Seed bank is an example of ex situ conservation.
