It is the plans that tell organisms what functions they need to preform to function and adapt to environments. || What is it a blueprint for? Blueprints help get an idea and guide during the process and creation of structures. In the case of organisms these structures would be metabolic functions and proteins needed to sustain life. || What reads the blueprint? Ribosomes read and duplicate DNA to create,heal,and allow organism to grow. ||

Describe your Topic below: I would like to figure out if it is possible to recreate dinosaurs. If we had Dino DNA it would actually be quite simple, but we have found nothing large enough to create an entire genome for a specific dinosaur we just have litle bits and pieces from different types of dinosaurs. It's all about the DNA and until we actually find a good amount from one particular species this science fiction will stay science fiction.

Brainstorm what you know and what you would like to know: I just want a baby T-rex to walk around on a leash is that too much to ask for!

||  ||< Can we find big enough strands of Dino DNA in fossilized bones to recreate Dinosaurs. ||
 * = ** What we (think) we know ** ||=  ||= What we would like to know / understand ||
 * < We can turn genes on in chicken to give them larger talons and beaks much like their ancestors. Research is being done to try and wire chickens tails to make them become elongated and more dino like. Dino bones house very important material but nothing significant enough to create an actual dinosaur.

As you conduct background research on your topic upload useful finds here. This could include ANNOTATED LINKS, ARTICLES, EMBEDDED VIDEOS, GRAPHICS.
