Question

Write a short notes on in situ conservation​

Answer 1

Answer:

A species or a population sample of a particular part of its genetic variation can be maintained through in situ or ex situ conservation. In situ conservation is the preservation of species and populations of living organisms in a natural state in the habitat where they naturally occur. This method preserves both the population and the evolutionary processes that enable the population to adapt by managing organisms in their natural state or within their normal range. For example, large ecosystems may be left intact as protected reserve areas with minimal intrusion or alteration by humans. Ex situ conservation is the preservation and propagation of species and populations, their germ cell lines, or somatic cell lines outside the natural habitat where they occur. This method maintains the genetic diversity extant in the population in a manner that makes samples of the preserved material readily available. It includes botanical gardens, greenhouses, and the preservation of seeds or other plant materials in germplasm banks under appropriate conditions for long-term storage.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Through in situ or ex situ conservation, a species or a population sample of a specific genetic variant within it can be preserved.
• The preservation of species and populations of living organisms in their natural habitat in their original state is known as in situ conservation.
• By keeping organisms in their native state or within their typical range, this strategy protects both the population and the evolutionary processes that allow the population to adapt. Large ecosystems, for instance, might be preserved in tact as protected reserves with little interference from or modification by people.
• Ex situ conservation refers to the preservation and division of species, populations, germ cell lines, and somatic cell lines away from their original environments.
• This technique preserves the genetic variety already present in the population while making samples of the preserved material easily accessible.
• Botanical gardens, greenhouses, and the long-term storage of seeds or other plant materials in germplasm banks are all included in this.
• The purpose of in situ conservation and its obstacles are covered in this chapter.
