What is paternity testing?
Paternity testing is a scientific way to determine the biological parents of a child. DNA paternity testing examines genetic material from a child and compares it to that of the mother and alleged father. While the word paternity refers to the father, a mother or other close relatives can also be identified by DNA testing. If this did not answer your question, please use our web questionnaire.
A paternity test is a genetic test to determine if the tested man could be the biological father of the tested child. The most common test used today is based on DNA — the genetic material contained in almost all cells of a person’s body. The results either exclude the tested man (he is not the father) or give a probability that he is the father.
2. PATERNITY means ” Fatherhood”. A paternity test involves genetic testing procedures that are performed by a paternity testing laboratory to determine if an alleged father is the biological father of a child. Paternity is excluded if test procedures demonstrate that an alleged father is not the biological father.
