DNA testing can help determine if a biological relationship exists between two individuals. This is typically done by collecting DNA samples from both parties using cheek swabs and then comparing the samples.
A paternity test is designed to determine if someone is the biological father of a child by comparing the DNA of the alleged father with that of the child. It is often recommended to include the mother in the test as well, as she contributes 50% of the child’s DNA.
