Back To The Future

In the movie Jurassic Park, scientists were able to breed dinosaurs using the DNA extracted from mosquitos trapped in amber. In reality the only DNA  would have been from the mosquito!

However, scientists have used chicken DNA to breed chickens with primitive characteristics like teeth. Did you remember that birds evolved from dinosaurs?


By 'switching on' inactive parts of the chickens DNA scientists may be able to breed chickens with dinosaur characteristics
