Question

What is meant by Cryopreservation??

Answer 1

Cryopreservation is the storage of blood, living tissues or cells at extremely cold temperatures, often -196 degrees Celsius. By using this process sperm, embryos, eggs, and plant seeds can be preserved. It is not just a preserving process, but involves replacing the tissue liquid with a solution similar to anti-freeze that can withstand the extreme cold temperatures.
