"Jurassic Park"

     Yesterday we watched a good science fiction movie called "Jurassic Park".  It is a little realistic and a little fictional.  In the movie they got a mosquito that just happened to be 65,000,000 years old that once drank blood from dinosaurs.  They took the blood out of the mosquito and somehow used that DNA to make living dinosaurs.  
     The truth is that DNA in blood would not create lots of dinosaurs.  You would need lots of DNA from the blood of lots of mosquitos to make more than one dinosaur.  In the movie they also used frog DNA in the places that they didn't have dinosaur DNA.   That probably would not work because DNA has to be very exact.  

     The realistic things about the movie are that it would be possible to make them all female, and that using the frog DNA would make them female and male because frogs can change gender.  
    Have you seen "Jurassic Park"?   Did you like it?  What was your favorite part?
