Another reason Jurassic Park failed: Lazy geneticists!

[jmowreader]

John Hammond (who we have already determined to be a Republican, hence the fences that could be turned off) hired these guys to analyze DNA strands. They analyzed one set of chromosomes, found holes in the strands, and patched them with "the DNA of a frog." Which of course allowed the most violent dinosaurs to breed.

A NON-lazy geneticist might have thought, "if we analyze ten sets of chromosomes from the same mosquito the holes will probably be in different places, and we can fill in the gaps by comparing the strands."

1. My mother always warned me to beware of frogs

2. And both the book and movie explain why to beware of them

Some frogs can change gender when there aren't enough of one gender to keep the species alive; the Jurassic Park people (who, apparently, were dumbasses as well as lazy) picked one of those frogs to use to patch holes in the DNA.

In the book only a few of the species had to have frog DNA added; in the movie the implication was all of them did. (In the book they also found empty velociraptor egg shells in nests away from the special raptor pen.)

3. They don't even spell the Dinosaur names correctly

And of all the animals to choose, why choose a frog in the first place. Surely there are animals with much closer genetic materal.

4. Probably for the same reason there were two venomous dinos and raptors were super huge

Namely, Crichton pulled almost as much shit out his ass about dinos as Ken Ham.
