Cryopreservation of gametes of threatened species in viable and fertile condition can be referred to as:

1. Advanced ex-situ conservation of biodiversity
2. In situ conservation by sacred groves
3. In situ cryo-conservation of biodiversity
4. In situ conservation of biodiversity

Correct answer: Advanced ex-situ conservation of biodiversity

Solution

Cryopreserving gametes means preserving them outside the natural habitat at very low temperatures, which is an ex-situ conservation approach. Because it involves advanced laboratory storage of genetic material from threatened species, it is considered advanced ex-situ conservation of biodiversity.
