Question

Which is the best method of germplasm conservation?

• A. Botanical garden
• B. Seed bank
• C. Herbarium
• D. Zoological park

Answer 1

The correct option is B Seed bank

Seed banks are the best method of germplasm conservation. It stores seeds to preserve the genetic diversity. Seeds remain viable for hundreds and even thousands of years. Thus it is the best method to combat the loss of genetic diversity in rare or imperiled plant species in an effort to conserve biodiversity ex-situ.

So, the correct answer is 'Seed bank'.
