  5. Continuing the Design Process • Create Solution • Combined Frog DNA with Dino DNA • Do Developmental Work • Have all the eggs and embryo in the lab • All dinosaurs are females to prevent reproduction

  6. Last Step of Design Process • Prototypes and Testing • Welcome to Jurassic Park!

  7. Key Mistakes Made • DNA of Frog and Dinosaur would make something crazy • Frog DNA they used were asexual reproduction
