In-situ conservation of plant genetic resources presents a number of advantages as compared to ex-situ conservation. It allows natural evolution to continue, a valuable option for the conservation of disease and pest-resistant species, which can co-evolve with their parasites, providing breeders with a dynamic source of resistance. This stands in contrast to the ex-situ conservation of reproductive material (seed, pollen), where a static state is conserved. Therefore, Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion making option 1 the correct answer.
