-
the mosquito would land on the branch of a tree...
-
and get stuck in the sap.
-
After a long time, the tree sap would get hard...
-
and become fossilized, just like a dinosaur bone...
-
preserving the mosquito inside.
-
This fossilized tree sap which we call "amber"...
-
waited for millions of years with the mosquito inside...
-
until Jurassic Park scientists came along.
-
Using sophisticated techniques...
-
they extract the preserved blood from the mosquito...
-
and bingo...dino DNA.
-
A full DNA strand contains three billion genetic codes.
