The Global Seed Bank is a "doomsday vault" located on the Norwegian island of Svalbard, where millions of seeds from important food plant species from all over the world are housed. This is a protective measure in case of a mass extinction of food plant species worldwide due to an ecological catastrophe, such as global climate change. a. Why would the Global Seed Bank contain seeds from a corn plant in Nebraska and seeds from a corn plant from Nigeria? b. When a country deposits seeds in the vault, they are required to provide multiple seeds from multiple individuals found in that population. Why?
