Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a fundamental component of life as we know it. Dirt is not an example of life. In order to be 'alive,' an object must metabolize through the intake and use of nutrients, self-perpetuate by reproduction, and adapt to its environment through endogenous changes. Dirt does not metabolize, does not reproduce, and does not adapt. Furthermore, dirt is not composed of cells, the fundamental building blocks of life as we know if, but of granules. These granules are composed mostly of silicate minerals, not living material. There may be some DNA in some dirt samples, but this DNA does not belong to the dirt, rather to something that has somehow deposited its DNA into/onto the dirt, likely through decomposition. If dirt had DNA, and that DNA had the same properties as human DNA, then dirt would look exactly like humans.

Is the amount of DNA in a human body cell the same as the amount of DNA in a human egg cell?
No. The amount of DNA in human sperm cells is half of the amount found in body cells.
Are DNA in muscle and skin the same?
DNA is found in two organelles: the nucleus and the mitochondria. The amount of nuclear DNA is fixed and does not vary from cell to cell, but the number of mitochondria can affect the amount of mitochondrial DNA.

Is the amount of DNA in a human body cell the same as the amount of DNA in a human egg cell?
No. The amount of DNA in human sperm cells is half of the amount found in body cells.
Do you extract human DNA the same as animal DNA?
Yes. The DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell. It's simply a case of extracting the DNA from the cell.
