Contained within the blood are the genetic DNA "markers". They can be multiplied by PCR in hours and compared against the baseline to determine paternity.

DNA is used as it has greater stability than RNA, both can be derived and determined by viable blood cells to determine paternity.

Blood is a complex substance made up of various components like red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, which are challenging to replicate in a lab setting. While red blood cells can be produced, creating a fully functional blood substitute has proven difficult due to the intricate functions and interactions of these components in the human body. Additionally, ensuring the safety and compatibility of artificial blood for transfusions is still a significant hurdle in manufacturing blood.
