Here are 3 definitions:

A place where scientists store DNA information from plants and animals so that they can use it to reintroduce desired genes back into a gene pool at a desired time.

A facility established for the ex situ conservation of individuals (seeds), tissues, or reproductive cells of plants or animals.

Any place, such as a nature reserve, an arboretum, an experimental farm, or a seed bank, where an effort is made to monitor, manage, and protect genetic diversit

Difference between gene pool and gene bank?

A gene pool refers to the total collection of genes in a population at a specific time, encompassing all genetic diversity within that group. On the other hand, a gene bank is a repository where genetic material, such as seeds, sperm, or tissues, from various organisms is stored and preserved for future use and conservation efforts.


How do seed banks preserve biodiversity?

gene banks preserve genes of different organisms. If a particular type of organism becomes extinct its genes are preserved in these banks.There are many forms of gene Banks eg:seed bank.If a type of seed becomes endangered or extinct due to the use of hybrid varieties or misuse they would be preserved in these type of gene banks .thus we can prevent their extinction


What is gene banks?

Gene banks are a type of biorepository which preserve genetic material. In plants, this could be by freezing cuts from the plant, or stocking the seeds. In animals, this is the freezing of sperm and eggs in zoological freezers until further need. With corals, fragments are taken which are stored in water tanks under controlled conditions.Plant genetic material in a 'gene bank' is preserved at -196° Celsius in Liquid Nitrogen as mature seed (dry).In plants, it is possible to unfreeze the material and propagate it, however, in animals, a living female is required for artificial insemination. While it is often difficult to utilize frozen animal sperm and eggs, there are many examples of it being done successfully.In an effort to conserve agricultural biodiversity, gene banks are used to store and conserve the plant genetic resources of major crop plants and their crop wild relatives. There are many gene banks all over the world, with the Svalbard Global Seed Vault being probably the most famous one


How are recessive genes kept in the gene pool?

Recessive genes are kept in the gene pool through carriers who may not exhibit the trait themselves but can pass it on to their offspring. These carriers contribute to genetic diversity in the population, ensuring that recessive traits are preserved even when not expressed.
