I have been hearing about DNA test to determine the paternity of a child. Kindly let me know how it works and how much it costs because I am also thinking of testing two out of my four children. They don’t resemble me in appearance and behaviour

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material you inherit from your mother and father. A DNA paternity test uses DNA to determine whether a man is the child’s biological father. The test is nearly 100% accurate at determining whether a man is another person’s biological father. DNA tests can use cheek swabs or blood tests. You must have the test done in a medical setting if you need results for legal reasons. Establishing paternity can be important for several reasons such as gaining legal rights to child support, child custody, social security benefits and inheritance. It can also identify links to genetic conditions that can affect your long-term health. The cost of DNA tests vary from one medical facility to another but are rarely cheap.
