Answer:

The DNA code matches your ADBDC code to other people and races. When you send in the swab, they match the dna to every person in their databanks. This helps them find out who you are related to now, or who or where you came from.

However, this is not always accurate. I found that out when my test said im part albanian and part scandinavian ;)

Answer:

With DNA testing you can discover the origins of your paternal line by analysing genetic markers.Simulations show that our DNA has room to represent about 128-256 ancestors at any particular generation.You could have a detectable block of DNA from an ancestor 10 generations back.Accuracy is very high when it comes to reading each of the hundreds of thousands of positions (or markers) in your DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps
