Would it be possable to clone a dragon?

Question

Given technology today, plus a few dozen years or so would it be possable to clone one I heard they could do it with a dino using DNA.
So if they found dino samples could they breed one / create one?

Answer 1

We can't because we don't have its DNA. Yes eventually we can manipulate the DNA of a dinosaur to the image of what a dragon is too us, but that is creating a dragon not cloning. For all we know we are creating something that never existed. This will all be decades later.

Answer 2

If they actually had some biological sample of a dragon, I know they probably could in the near future, What I do know is that China is currently in talks of cloning a Mammoth and Australia is planning on doing the same with the Tasmanian Tiger so anything is possible I guess.

Answer 3

I guess it would be possible to clone any organism providing you can provide an uncontaminated, complete sample of DNA, i.e. with all the genetic material present. So the possibilities of cloning dinosaurs are pretty low, DNA just doesn't survive intact for the tens of millions of years that they have been extinct. In Jurassic Park the dinosaur DNA came from the gut of a blood-sucking insect encased in amber, but that is unlikely as the DNA would still have been worked on by bacteria. And as for dragons, they never did exist.

Answer 4

A Dragon is considered mythology. A Dinosaur is fact. Although a Dinosaurs may have resemblance to that of the mythological dragon, It wouldn't be the same thing.

They first have to be able to clone a dinosaur
Then later later later in the future after being able to clone a dinosaur, they may be able to alter the DNA to create that as the mythological dragon,

Answer 5

it's hard to clone a dinosuar since you would need an animal similar to it that also lays eggs to surrogate the cloned embryo. Hard to find one like that these days. Scientists are trying to clone the extinct Tasmanian Devil, but they won't get the DNA into a usable form until 2020. You think a Dinosaur is going to be easier?

Answer 6

first of all dinosaurs are not dragons. second of all the dna remaining in fossils which has decomposed through fossilization is not sufficient enough to create a dinosaur. haven't you seen jurrasic park? i recommend u read the book instead. in order to "create" a dinosaur you'd have to either find a perfectly preserved specimen or add other types of dna to make up for the gaps. in doing so u're essentially changing the original organism. also, in this new environment who knows how dinosaurs would survive. it is a slightly lower temperature than prehistoric times and also a much lower oxygen level. even if u did create a dinosaur it'd have to be kept in special conditions.

Answer 7

I suppose with the technology, and assuming that dragons do or did exist (beside the obvious komodo dragon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon), the answer would be yes.

But then again, why would anyone want to go through the trouble, expense and headache of cloning one, hatching it, raising, feeding and sheltering it?

In the end it's a question of money and purpose.

Answer 8

yeah, how do you go from having dino dna to cloning a dragon?! are you using the same language for both, cause last time i checked, the t-rex didnt breathe fire

Answer 9

No!! Because dragons are just a myth. Scientists have not yet figured out how to clone a myth.

Answer 10

ok first i ought to describe what they the two are so which you would be able to comprehend. UVA is particularly any gentle that illuminates issues. all your regualr kin bulbs provide off UVA. UVB on the different hand is a spectrum that the sunlight provides off and a super variety of animals, human beings blanketed choose UVB as a manner to supply D supplements in our dermis. devoid of this D nutrition we can't technique calcium properly that's why nutrition D is put in milk in spite of the undeniable fact that there is plenty debate as to if our bodies can particularly even make the main of nutrition D in oral types. contained related to bearded dragons that's definately no longer adequate whilst given in oral type to technique calcium and given too plenty could be poisonous. So the addition of a UVB bulb is mandatory, when you consider that no bulb on the industry may even come close to to the quantity that the sunlight provides off, it is not achieveable to overdose on UVB yet your dragon can definately be bothered by a loss of it. UVA itself isn't mandatory yet because of the fact it comes from often happening and UVB bulbs and often happening bulbs provide off a definite volume of warmth, maximum folk use often happening bulbs for warmth and basking purposes so a dragon gets UVA from a UVB bulb and a often happening kin bulb yet i do no longer think of UVA in itself has any wellbeing advantages in any respect to a bearded dragon. as a manner to respond to your question, no you are able to no longer provide too plenty UVA or UVB yet you are able to reason wellbeing subject concerns in case you haven't any longer have been given adequate UVB.
