Multiple choice

Directions: For this question, select the best of the answer from the choices given.

In the film, ‘Jurassic Park’, scientists create living dinosaurs by replicating dinosaur DNA found inside an insect that had bitten a dinosaur and was then trapped in amber. Although, such a feat has not yet been accomplished, one day modern science will probably succeed in recreating prehistoric creatures in a similar manner. All of the following assumptions underlie the conclusion of the passage above except that

  1. to accurately replicate DNA in a laboratory will be a possibility someday

  2. DNA of a creature provides sufficient genetic information about a creature, that it allows recreation of the animal

  3. the functioning of DNA has not yet been understood by the scientist and the probability of the same is not good for future as well

  4. to recreate an entire creature, sufficient DNA can be extracted from an insect

  5. the probability for DNA to survive for more than tens of thousands of years inside an insect’s body is more than average

C Correct answer
Explanation

This option cannot work as an assumption as it weakens the probability of the scientist understanding the basic concept of DNA.
