NIELIT 2017 DEC Scientific Assistant A - Section A: 54

Question

There is a short passage given below. Read the passage and answer the question that follows it.

The movie Jurassic Park was a super-hit in the $90$s. The movie shows scientists creating live dinosaurs by replicating dinosaur DNA found inside an insect that had bitten a dinosaur centuries back and was then trapped in amber. Though such a feat has not been accomplished in the real world, yet one day modern science will possibly succeed in recreating prehistoric creatures in a similar manner.

All of the following assumptions underline the conclusion of the passage above EXCEPT

• A. the genetic information in DNA is sufficient to permit the recreation of an entire animal.
• B. it will someday be possible to accurately replicate DNA in a laboratory.
• C. enough DNA can be extracted from an insect to recreate an entire animal.
• D. scientists will never fully understand how DNA functions.

Answer 1

Answer is D.

All other statements A,B,C are leading to the conclusion that in near future, by replicating DNA of an animal, it can be recreated. For this, scientists should have a clear understanding of DNA structure.
