There is a mistake in "Jurassic Park": It still annoys experts today

The West There is a mistake in "Jurassic Park": It still annoys experts today Article by Dominik Göttker • 4 hours • 2 minutes reading time Genetically modified dinosaurs that break out of a park and make the earth unsafe? Well, the concept of "Jurassic Park" has never been particularly realistic. But there is a mistake in the legendary dinosaur film that drove scientists to the brink of despair then and now. What is it? We'll explain. But to do that, we have to take a small step into the plot of the film. In "Jurassic Park", the scientist Dr. Henry Wu came up with a method that would prevent the dinosaurs from surviving in the event of an outbreak in the wild. A gene was added to the dinosaurs that would prevent the amino acid lysine from being produced in their bodies. Serious film mistake in "Jurassic Park" But they need this to survive. So the amino acid was artificially fed to them. The idea behind it is clear: the monsters can only survive in the park. If they don't get any more lysine, they die. A great plan, but unfortunately scientific nonsense. Lysine cannot be produced in the body, as the portal "my mmo" reports. Instead, lysine is absorbed through food. For example, through vegetables, fruit or meat.
