Dinosaur And Frog DNA Book Report

There has always been the question of if we can recreate Dinosaurs using remains of DNA. This has been asked for a while, until 1990, when a fiction story called, “Jurassic Park”, came to books. The book details how scientists have been able to clone these creatures from the past. The basic step is that mosquitos from the B.C. ages have been caught in sap from trees back then, and are encased in amber. The scientists extract blood from them and find pieces of Dinosaur DNA inside. However, since the DNA is incomplete, they fill it with frog DNA. So the real question remains. Could this happen? That answer differs among many people. Most scientists have said the answer is a big no. Scientists have gone looking through DNA of old bugs trapped in sap, but have not been

The combining of dinosaur and frog DNA also has flaws in it. It would almost be like using a piece from many different puzzles to create the same picture. Frog DNA might also not be the best choice. Sure, they’re reptilian, however studies have shown that dinosaurs would evolve into birds instead. While a insect is in DNA, the insides would be the only thing decaying while the years went on. This would mean that there would be nothing left for the scientists to get from the inside. This would basically just be a hollow dead bug that was encased in amber years ago. Scientists have really lowered expectations on cloning dinosaurs, and have now moved on to cloning Woolly mammoths. This is because more mammoth DNA has been found and it could easily be filled back with elephant DNA. They are also looking to clone more recent extinct species. This is because there is more DNA from these extinct animals then there are from animals that existed millions of years ago. There is also the problem that even if they were able to get blood from a fossilized mosquito, some of the DNA from the bug might mix into
