Which of the following is not an ex-situ germplasm conservation strategy ?

  • A.Seed gene bank
  • B.DNA gene bank
  • C.Biosphere reserve
  • D.Botanical garden

Answer: C

The strategy that is not ex-situ is a Biosphere reserve.

Ex-situ conservation keeps germplasm outside its natural habitat: seed gene banks, DNA gene banks, field gene banks, botanical gardens and zoos.

A biosphere reserve protects species where they naturally occur, together with their ecosystem, which is in-situ conservation, like national parks and sanctuaries. That is why it is the odd one out.
