Imagine growing up, not knowing who your father is. That would be a life without human paternity or relations testing. Luckily, scientists have made it possible to use DNA to determine relationships between organisms.
 | Welcome to our site! By: Emily LaMattina Hope Weseloh River Nicholas Who is his father?When the father of a child is unknown, a mother can take a paternity test. In these tests, the mother's, suspected father's,and child's DNA are tested and checked for similarities. This technology has been around since the 1970s, and today it is over 99.99% effective in determining parentage. There are many ways a paternity test can be acquired. You can get one through your doctor, through a court order, or even at places like Walmart. Paternity testing used to be very expensive, wth prices up to 500 dollars, but now at home kits can cost 30-80 dollars. |
