2. “[D]eoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule of genetic materials shaped like a double-helix or spiral ladder. In every person, each cell with a nucleus contains a copy of that person's DNA. Thus, DNA serves as a blueprint for the human body. Further, no two individuals, except identical twins, have the same nucleotide sequences throughout their DNA. Thus, DNA testing conducted on cells from various parts of the same body will yield the same results.”
