==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A [[Gene Bank]] is a place where [[Sperm Cell|sperm]], [[Ovum|egg cells]] and [[seed]]s are stored in case a species becomes extinct or does not have enough [[biodiversity]].

===Meaning===
: There are number of '''gene banks''' in the world.
: The '''gene banks''' began by storing the [[Sperm Cell|sperm]] and [[Ovum|egg cells]] from endangered [[animal]]s in case they became [[Extinction|extinct]]. They then started storing seeds from [[endangered]] plants. They are gradually moving on to collect the [[Genetic Material|genetic material]] of all [[species]] on [[Earth]] so that they can be re-introduced in case they become [[Extinction|extinct]].
