This is an ambiguous question: are we talking about obtaining DNA samples from the person, are we talking about obtaining DNA from the specimen? Obtaining DNA from a person is as simple as swabbing the person's buccal mucosa, which is inside a person's cheek. Obtaining DNA from a specimen is a process by which DNA is extracted by using chemicals that emulsify the cells to extract the DNA, then centrifuging the mixture to extract it. The DNA is then pipetted into a radioactive gel that identifies each strand's DNA structure. The preparation is then x-rayed to reveal the unique DNA structure.

LigaseIn the Watson and Crick model of DNA the steps of the ladder are composed of?

In the Watson and Crick model of DNA, the steps of the ladder are composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), or cytosine (C). These nucleotides are linked together through phosphodiester bonds to form the backbone of the DNA molecule.
