The book gets much more into the genetic tampering they were doing to control their breeding, dietary tolerances, and even behaviors. I think the characters (Malcolm and the scientists) argued that the animals weren't honest representations of dinosaurs that couldn't be studied reliably from a science concept...and Hammonds opinion was that the point was to "entertain."
That whole part where they watch the cartoon that talks about frog dna has always been the one thing I hate about that movie. They don't explain anything correctly, it feels like it's edited wrong, and there's almost no point to having it in the movie (since they don't go into the science much). The other point that drives me nurse is Grant knowing trex can't see you if you don't move (which is caused by the frog dna...not something a paleontologist would know).
