This episode uses the sci-fi action film Jurassic Park as a springboard to explore fundamental concepts in genetics. While the film imagines resurrecting dinosaurs through ancient DNA, we break down the real science behind this film, clarifying what a genome is, how chromosomes organize DNA, and how genes function as trait-coding units with alleles as their variations. By separating cinematic fiction from reality, we can learn some genetics while uncovering what’s scientifically possible, and what is purely Hollywood fantasy.
