However Hammond did not do it himself he had Henry Wu do it since he had the skills. Henry Wu, pretty much did all the dirty work, extracted the mosquito from the amber and took blood cells from their abdomen. They then extracted the Dino DNA from the blood in the mosquito. They then sequenced the DNA to make a complete strand of DNA. But the DNA was old and had gaps, so the scientists spliced frog DNA with the Dino DNA so the DNA would be complete. The DNA was then inserted into crocodile ova and created an embryo. Seems as it would have work but it didn’t. Why did it no work? It did not work because apparently they only created female dinosaurs, but like some animals, especially African frogs, dinosaurs were able to change their sex according to Ellie and Alan. So, just like Malcolm said something unexpected is bound to happen, and no computer program can be designed to prevent it because they had created animals that were extinct. These animals lived in a different time the atmosphere was different with that everything else. “There is a problem with that isla...
