In recent years, conservation strategies for threatened species have advanced significantly. Which of the following is considered an advanced method of ex-situ conservation?

Options

  1. ACryopreservation of gametes
  2. BIdentification of biodiversity hotspots
  3. CMaintenance of sacred groves
  4. DEstablishment of biosphere reserves

Correct answer

A. Cryopreservation of gametes

Step-by-step solution

Ex-situ conservation involves the protection of biological diversity outside their natural habitats.

Cryopreservation of gametes is an advanced ex-situ conservation method where gametes of threatened species are preserved in viable and fertile conditions for long periods using liquid nitrogen at −196∘C-196^{\circ}\text{C}.

Biodiversity hotspots, sacred groves, and biosphere reserves are all examples of in-situ conservation strategies, where species are protected within their natural habitats.
