Paternity Testing

Description
DNA paternity testing uses the DNA (deoxribonucleic acid) genetic material in the cells of your body to determine parentage. At the moment of conception, the 23 chromosomes present in the woman's egg and the 23 chromosomes present in the man's sperm combine to give a total of 46 chromosomes to the child. These 46 chromosomes are present in every cell of your body. Thus, every parent has given their child 23 of their own chromosomes, and this is what DNA testing tests for. DNA testing is 99.9% accurate.

Procedure
Cell samples from the subjects are taken by mouth swab and tested for exclusion or inclusion.
