In the movie‚ there is much talk about evolution with dinosaurs and how they lived on the Earth over six million years ago. The movie is based on the use of DNA to revive a lost species. What happened was tha the paleabotanists were digging‚ and they found a mosquito that had been conserved in tree sap‚ and took DNA from it and used it to recreate a new strand of DNA. In the movie they used DNA from frogs which carry a similar strand of DNA as the dinosaurs did. And combined them to create a dinosaur

In this essay I will be discussing the controversial topic of human genetic engineering and its pros and cons from a biological and social point of view while also trying to answer the question “Should human genetic engineering be legal.” Genes control health and disease‚ as well as human traits and behaviour. Researchers are just beginning to use genetic technology to unravel the secrets to these phenotypes (observable trait caused by a gene). They are also discovering a range of other potential
