Evolution by DNA: Changing the Blueprint of Life
- 1980 ----- color ----- 22 min ----- 16mm
- Presents the work and thoughts of Dr. David Suzuki, noted geneticist from the University of British Columbia. He is shown with his assistants drastically changing the life of Drosophilia, the common fruit fly. By genetic engineering they have been able to create flies which are paralyzed by either hot or cold temperatures and keep alive mutants which normally would have died. The lessons learned from this organism will soon give man the answer to how genes work in heredity. Once this blueprint of life is known, Dr. Suzuki sees a future in which we might be able to create long forgotten species, grow test-tube babies and discover a way to regenerate lost or damaged limbs.
- Topics: (Biology, Genetics)
