What are some challanges that anthropologist face when studing another culture?
The main challenge that anthropology faces now is that aboriginal communities are disappering from the world so they have to adapt to study new human groups who are more familiar to us. In the actual practice of anthropology one problem is that everyone has their own worldview, so when you study a certain group of people it is hard to leave your own thoughts out of the work, everyone has a bias and that bias might interfere in your work and make you omit or include some stuff that shouldn't or should be there. Another issue that anthropology has is that what it studies is always changing, is not like chemistry for example because atoms always behave in known patterns, in anthropology all people will tell you different things so when you do a study in a certain group of people, you have to know how to put all of the thoughts of the community in one.
Can a DNA test tell you what percantage of a race are you?
a genetics test can tell you were your ancestors were from and from there it can be guessed what percentage of a certain race you are. Also, note that "race" is an entirely fictional, artificial construct, and is not recognized scientifically as having any valid meaningful distinction between groups of humans. What DNA can tell you is where your ancestors' groups were primarily from, as human were quite insular and (relatively) immobile up until the last 1,000 years or so.

Is it better to be a forensic anthropogist or a forensic?
There is no such thing as a "forensic". Forensics is a science involved with a crime investigation. Whether they are Forensic Anthropologist: Scientists involved with determining what happened to a body that has been decomposed. Or maybe a Forensic Pathologist/ Medical Examiner: They examine the body of someone that have died recently. Remember, it's your decision on what you want your carrer to be when you're older. Don't just do what others tell you what you should be, and do NOT determine what you want to be when you're just by TV shows like "Bones" they glorify the cases and most of them will not be murders. Do some research about different types of forensics and get a little inside info about the real thing. Personally though, I want to be a Forensic Anthropologist when I'm older.(:
