A child inherits half of their DNA from the biological Mother and half their DNA from the biological Father. The DNA profiles are then compared (on a 16 genetic marker basis) to establish whether the alleged father is indeed the biological Father of the child. If the alleged father is the biological Father of the child, then all the loci will match and he will be included as being the Father with a guaranteed probability in excess of 99.99% when the mother is included. The probability is normally over 99.9% if the Mother is not included. If the man tested is not the biological Father of the child he will be 100% excluded resulting in a probability of paternity of 0%. http://www.homednadirect.co.uk/DNA-Paternity-test.html
