What is common to the techniques
(i) in-vitro fertilization
(ii) cryopreservation
(iii) tissue culture?
| 1. | All are in-situ conservation methods. |
| 2. | All are ex-situ conservation methods |
| 3. | All require ultra-modern equipment and large space. |
| 4. | All are methods of conservation of extinct organisms. |
Ans. (b)AIl the three above mentioned techniques are ex-situ conservation methods. At present gametes of threatened species can be preserved in viable conditions for longer duration by cryopreservation method (at very low temperature-196°C).
Fertilization can be achieved in laboratory-in Vitro, and species can be improved or propagated by tissue culture method, a plant breeding principle.
