Hey Peeps
What is Resurrection Biology?
How long can our DNA survive?
Is it possible to de extinct animals like mammoth and sabre tooth?
If yes what are the ways and consequences?
Thank you

Answer:
Resurrection biology is the biology aimed at artificially producing endangered or extinct organisms using genetic engineering.
DNA is a chemical compound and hence nonliving. It has a half life of 521 year. so it can remain intact (without any bond breaking) for 521×2=1042years. But under suitable conditions, it can last upto 6.8 million years!
Theoritically it is possible to deextinct animals. but for that we would require more advanced technologies. There are many ways to do so. But all of them requires dna strand of the extinct animal. it can then be copied, and transferred to mother cell, grown under suitable condition, to produce a viable clone.
Hope this has helped you!
✓De-extinction, also known as resurrection biology, or species revivalism, is the process of creating an organism, which is either a member of, or resembles an extinct species, or breeding population of such organisms.
✓Researchers in 2016 measured chloroplast DNA in marine sediment cores, and found diatom DNA dating back to 1.4 million years. This DNA had a half-life significantly longer than previous research, of up to 15,000 years.
✓Cloning is the method discussed as an option for bringing back extinct species. This can be done by extracting the nucleus from a preserved cell from the extinct species and swapping it into an egg of the nearest living relative. ... This means that it is most feasible for recently extinct species.
