How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Jurassic Park.
Quote #4
MR. DNA: A DNA strand like me is a blueprint for building a living thing.
Mr. DNA makes learning about science fun. Considering everything that goes wrong, though, we're surprised no one is devoured by an out-of-control cartoon DNA strand.
Quote #5
MR. DNA: A hundred million years ago, there were mosquitoes just like today. […] Sometimes, after biting a dinosaur, the mosquito would land on the branch of a tree, and get stuck in the sap.
People take Jurassic Park seriously and have confirmed that extracting dino DNA from mosquitoes is impossible. On top of that, someone checked out the mosquito in the movie and realized that it's a species of mosquito that doesn't suck blood. While it's sad we can't recreate dinosaurs that way, a mosquito that doesn't suck blood is officially our favorite mosquito.
Quote #6
MR. DNA: Since it's so old, it's full of holes. [...] Thinking machine super-computers and gene-sequencers break down the strand in minutes. And virtual-reality displays show our geneticists the gaps in the DNA sequence. We used the complete DNA of a frog to fill in the holes and complete the code.
The frog DNA turns out to be like fixing a leak in a dam with scotch tape. Just as scotch tape wouldn't hold the water in, the frog DNA causes cracks in the genetic code that eventually allow the dinosaurs to change sex and breed.
