i just watched godzilla today and i was wondering if its actaully possible that a new species can be created by fall out?
is it possible for radiation to alter an animals DNA so much that a new species will arise or is it all just bs?

Which godzilla is it you talking about, Gojira? Or G.I.N.O?

I dout radiation would alter dna, it would probably kill the animal before it could (that's even if it can)... although scientists would might probably be able to make a creature LIKE godzilla, but without the big blastey thing... you know, on animal planet, soon their is a thing on dragons.. also, did you hear about the mice that are going to be born with human brains?
To make godzilla:
take one part lizard that walks on two legs and one part komodo. Make komodo that walks on two legs... this is you sellable cute mini godzilla pet...
take the above and mix with genes of a ble whale so it can have gills and get big... now it is a marine animal (like godzilla) and is big... mix with human brain to make it smart (like godzilla) make a smaller version to make godzookie (anyone else know of godzookie? stupid cartoons.)

I would agree, the animal would die before the radiation can change the DNA. I'm pretty sure it doesnt either, but it may cause deformities. I remember reading somewhere that rabbits are the most likely to survive under radiation and even then, they dont have that long of a time.

Like most have said, radiation can kill. But in heavy amounts only can radiation kill (and with heavy amounts will it certainly kill in the matter of seconds). But some animals (and humans) have been known for their strange mutations. How? Usually powerplants are government experiments. But if just effected and when I say just I mean very lightly touched by radiation, you can be affected. Now, their sperm/eggs are radiately effected. When they have a child, their child can be mutated and most likely will. So yes, if only in light amouns can radiation effect the DNA. In heavy amounts, it will quickly kill you.

WHALES ARE MAMMALS, THEY BREATH THROUGH LUNGS
Anyways, I think it's impossible unless the goverment tries to make it, but why would they?

Could you imagein if Godzilla did rise from the sea. Japan would be in a state of terrier knowing everything put in the movies is now on the "It could happen" list. Althought the thought of Godzilla actually existing is a fun thought. I mean could we actually live in peace with the Big-G in this real wotld of ours?

Yes, since whales are mammals, whales have lungs, not gills. They must come to the ocean surface to breathe through nostrils known as blowholes. Smaller whales can be underwater for several minutes but I found out that the Sperm Whale can dive for up to two hours.
Are you referring to the government making radiation? If thats what your saying, you misunderstood. Governmental experiments may involve radiation. (Bombs on testing sites may involve radiation). Understand?

Okay, first of all, your term of 'sellable', would be true, because it would probably still have the saliva of a komodo dragon, which would be able to kill, in minutes, if it bit you. Also there is no Reptile that walks on 2 legs all the time, they are all qaudrapedial, while some have the ability to walk on 2 legs for short periods of time, and I seriously doubt they will allow scientists to mix human genes with that of an animal. Many people consider it inhumane, to even clone embryos.
Next of all, we don't have the ability to splice together genes at such high levels, especially with such complex DNA.
And technically speaking, if you wanted to splice the American 'Godzilla' just take a marine iguana, give it Jay Lenos chin, a brain the size of a peanut, and enjoy.
Mysteryman
Mar 10 2005, 04:22 AM
Yes, all reptiles are quadrapedial. You may find the moments of reptiles running on two feet (such as my iguana iggy). When my iguana sees a dog nearby outside when hes strolling through the garden, he picks up his front lefs and runs with his tail strolling on the floor. It was an awesome sight, but a scary sight. Also agree on the fact of the complication involving DNA and gene splicing - to take a gene of one animal along with another would be challenging enough to make sure the dominant and recessive alleles and the chromosomes could match up, line up, and replicate.

First off, they NEVER said Godzilla was real. They asked if there was a possibility of creating a similar creature using today's splicing capability.
I think it's an interesting topic.
What makes this any diffrent then any other of the topics that feature creatures whose only existing proff is second hand stories.
This is also no diffrent then asking is dinosaurs are still alive today.
Take away the radioactiive breath, and what do you have?
A dinosaur.

No if you take away the radioactive breath you have an 100ft dino... I think the radiation woulkd kill rather than mutate it into a monster and this is very different to crypto topics.

It depends on the amount of radiation you're referring to.
It's a proven fact that some amounts of radiation can produce mutated offspring.
Who's to say that the some of the mysterious cryptids we discuss here aren't just that? Mutations of known species.

and possibly have reduced life spans as well

I don't believe medical science is capable of altering DNA to this extend at present. However since mutations are mostly attributed to radiation (mostly from the sun), its a fair question to wonder as to how freakish a mutation could manifest on an existing DNA pattern.
I agree with ALNA70 that some of you seem a bit hostile though.

Also it was actually a tie between Godzilla and King Kong, Godzilla came from the sea. The writers couldn't decide who would win.
About those godzilla sightings, how can anyone think that? Wouldn't it destroy a city?
