Best Answer

The skin inside your mouth is composed of many cell layers that serve to protect your body by forming a barrier between the space within your mouth and the rest of the body. Because protection is a tough job, the skin is constantly making new cheek cells to replace those that fall of from the surface.

Why are cheek cells eukaryotic?

Because ALL cells in an animal with different tissue types are eukaryotic. "Eu" means "good" in Greek and so was chosen as the name for OUR kind of creatures - creatures whose cells have a nuclear membrane insulating the DNA in the core of a cell from the outer areas where each cell handles digestion of materials from the outside of the cell and builds the proteins and enzymes that it uses to do its job. So any cell that is a part of you - like your cheek - is eukaryotic because you are a eukaryote.


What parts of the body can you get DNA from?

All of your body's soft parts are made of cells and most of these cells contain DNA. (The only ones that don't are the red blood cells) So theoretically you can get DNA from any of these parts.
