Correct Answer: mature seed (dry)


Solution : The correct answer is mature seed (dry) .

Gene bank is a method of conservation used to preserve mature seeds for future use. This is achieved by storing the seeds at a temperature of -196 degrees Celsius, using a cryogenic technology. By subjecting the genetic material to such ultra-low temperatures, biological activities are prevented, effectively putting the seeds in a state of suspended animation.
