• what are the agricultural and horticultural reasons why the conservation of existing gene pool is important


  animals and plants will be bred to be disease resistant and to have specific alleles
• what is the environmental changes reasons why the conservation of existing gene pool is important


  a large varied gene pool increases the chance of a species surviving environmental change
• what are the medical reasons why the conservation of an existing gene pool important


  plants and animals may have the potential to help with development of new drugs and other medical treatments
