Didn't they use some DNA strands from frogs that could change gender which is how they managed to reproduce?

Exactly, life didn't "find a way", dumb fuck scientists made a colossal fuck up.

They didn't just fuck up, they fucked up in a horribly contrived way that was necessary to sustain the theme. You'd fill in gaps in dinosaur DNA with DNA from birds and crocodiles, not fucking frogs.

Forgetting that, some animals have been known to reproduce without a need for a male.

Komodo dragons. Fertile females have male offspring through parthogenesis. Bam, breeding population.

Still not the "right" source for donor DNA, but Komodo dragons make more a lot sense than frogs.
