    Maybe they did something like Shamir’s secret sharing… So you only need a quorum of larger number of fragments of to reconstruct the whole? If you’re warp capable and able to seed humanoid life, I imagine you’ve probably built in some redundancy.

      I don’t think so, because the Klingons (or Romulans?) destroyed all life on one of the necessary planets after collecting a sample, which is one of the reasons they all had to share the bits of DNA they collected.
