AUTOSOMAL DNA ETHNICITY PREDICTIONS ANALYSIS 2
The process of examining DNA sequences is mainly for the identification of people or to
show that people are related is called a DNA test (Bettinger, 2019). DNA tests, as Bettinger,
(2019) further explains, look at people’s genomes at specific locations, for them to attempt and
find an ancestral genome. Also, DNA tests are done through the estimation of the ethnic
mixtures of an individual, although these are less reliable than the genomes (Lew, 2018). There
are three principal types of DNA tests, which include the Autosomal test, Mitochondrial
(mtDNA) test, and Y-DNA test. This article provides an analysis of autosomal DNA Ethnicity
predictions of Jake versus Henry, to determine the likelihood of Henry being Jake's father.
An autosomal DNA test, according to Lew, (2018), analyzes the DNA of a person, up to five
generations of their ancestry. One of the most important things for people to note during DNA
testing as Bettinger, (2019) asserts, is that all humanity shares 99.9 percent of the same DNA
which means that the part which makes individuals unique is the remaining 0.1 percent. The first
parameter that will get used in this article to determine whether Henry is Jake's father is the
amount of ethnicity that can get inherited by a child from their parent. According to Lew (2018),
ethnicity does not get inherited in equal amounts. This unequal inheritance of the ethnicity
background implies that a child may inherit all their parent's ethnicity or some of it as Lew,
(2018) further explains. In Jake’s case, however, though differing in percentage compared to
Henry, there is a higher likelihood that they are related since Jake has all the ethnicity that Henry
has.
Jake, besides having all of Henry’s ethnicity, has additional lower percentage ethnicities like
Sub-Saharan African, and Middle Eastern and North African. According to Kirkpatrick and
Rashkin, (2017), there is always the possibility that a child inherits their ethnicity regions from
both parents, which leads to unclear patterns of ethnic inheritance. Due to the above, therefore,
