CL Jurassic Park

Dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park movie are…

• Saved from extinction.

• Cloned from dinosaur DNA.

• Destroyed by mosquito DNA.

• Suffer from a second extinction.

Why can't scientists find dinosaur DNA?

• Dinosaurs didn't have DNA.

• Dinosaur DNA is already decayed.

• Scientists just started looking for DNA.

• When tree resin is fossilizes, the DNA is destroyed.

Why is a real-life Jurassic Park not realistic?

• DNA cannot survive when tree resin fossilizes to amber.

• It is unlikely that intact dinosaur DNA will be discovered.

• Scientists have not developed any ideas on how dinosaurs could be brought back.

• Current laws prevent scientists from using cloning technology on dinosaur DNA.

How did woolly mammoth DNA survive?

• It was frozen in the permafrost.

• Woolly mammoths are not extinct.

• It was under a million years old.

• It was fossilized in amber.

How do scientists think they can bring back the woolly mammoth?

• They will put the DNA fragments together to create a whole woolly mammoth.

• Scientists will need to use technology that is not currently developed.

• They will create a woolly mammoth/Asian elephant hybrid.

• They will clone woolly mammoths.

What could be affected by the return of the woolly mammoth?

• Environment, humans, and habitat.

• Environment, climate, and nature reserves.

• Climate, plants, and Pleistocene Park.

• Habitat, nature reserves, and Pleistocene Park.
