Evolution by DNA: Changing the Blueprint of Life
Dr. Suzuki explains a genetic defect that controls how a fly tolerates temperature. Dr. Suzuki w/ 2 tubes, each contains fruit flies. He changes the temperature in the tubes by placing the sealed tube into water of different temperature. It paralyses the flies for a short time. More scientists at a microscope, both men & women.
