There are ways to assess paternity wihtout using DNA. These are the methods that werre used before the DNA methods were developed and are not a accurate as DNA assessment is.
Blood types and rH factors can at the least eliminate some men as fathers of some children as children with some types cannot be the child of males with certain other blood types.
There is also the process of testimony of the mother.
What else can I help you with?
Can you tell paternity by blood type?
You can not tell paternity by blood type. You can rule out paternity by blood type. For example, if both parents are O negative and the baby is type A positive, you can rule out paternity. The only way to determine paternity is by a DNA test. A few of the baby's hairs and the father's hairs can be sent to a lab. The lab can determine paternity.
How do you establish paternity?
Paternity can be established through a DNA test, typically done by collecting samples from the child, alleged father, and, if available, the mother. This test compares the genetic markers to determine biological relationships. Legal paternity can also be established voluntarily through a signed acknowledgment of paternity or through a court order.
Can smoking weed alter paternitydna results?
No way, man. Smoking weed does not alter your DNA, no matter how much you think you smoke.
The BEST possible way to test the paternity of a child would be to?
Father's appearance has to similar with his child. Appearances are notoriously unreliable. The best way to establish paternity is by genetic [DNA] testing. Edit: Compare a small number of short sequences of DNA derived from the father and the child's genomes.
How does the DDC perform paternity tests?
They perform paternity tests by DNA tests, which is a very effective way to do tests. DNA is unique to everyone. If trying to find the parents of a child, they will take DNA from the parents and the child and test them in a Eletrophoresis. From there, they will observe the bands, if the DNA bands of the child matches any or both of the parents, they it is confirmed who is the parent.
hOW CAN YOU ADMINISTER A TEST TO PROVE THAT YOUR SON IS LEGITIMATE YOURS WITHOUT HIM KNOWING YOU ARE DOING SO IN OTHER WORDS WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT I CAN DO THIS WITHOUT HIM BEING SUSPICIOUS?
The only way to determine paternity is through DNA. The easiest, least expensive way to do that is with a cheek swab. Epithelial cells are used as the source of DNA. There is no "home test." The swabs are sent to a lab where the process takes several days or weeks. You could get DNA through other means, (hair sample, e.g.) but it would be far more expensive. The cheek swab is the most accessible method.
What is the best way to determine if individuals in a group are related?
DNA analysys
Do brothers have the same x chromosome or asked another way can DNA determine between two brothers the real father of a daughter?
Brothers do not share the same X chromosome. Therefore, DNA analysis can determine the father of a daughter between two brothers with high accuracy by comparing the genetic markers on the child's DNA with the potential fathers'. This is done through paternity testing which looks at specific genetic markers to confirm biological relationships.
Will an ultrasound scan date be accurate enough to determine who the father is if you have slept with 2 different men within a month?
No. The only way to be absolutely certain of who the father is, is a paternity test. Most people still choose the standard blood test. DNA testing is 99.9% conclusive, but is more costly. Ultrasound only indicates the growth and health of the fetus. A calculated guess can be made on the "age" but definitely not the paternity.
How can you determine who the babys father is at 8 weeks?
If you have an eight-week old baby but do not know who its father is, you'll need to have paternity testing performed to establish who is the father. A DNA sample is taken from the child as well as from each of the men with whom you had sexual relations. A laboratory will compare the samples to determine paternity. These tests would need to be conducted by a doctor, so you should go to your doctor and inquire about having the test performed. If you have trouble getting the men to cooperate, they can likely be compelled to provide a DNA sample through the family court system. In that case, go there for help. If you're talking about prenatal testing (e.g. 8 weeks of pregnancy), then that's a different story. There are a couple of prenatal paternity tests, but none to the best of my knowledge can be applied at 8 weeks. You would need to wait at least another month before any type of paternity test would be available. Again, consult with your doctor.
How do you establish paternity without the father?
Uh... you don't. The only way paternity can be established or denied is by comparing the offspring to the parent. If there's a DNA match, you win the prize. If you don't have a parent, there's nothing to compare to. In other words, you can't just sample the offspring's blood and then say, "Whoops! Looks like ol' Ed's got another mouth to feed...." You need Ed.
Is it possible for my girlfriend's son to look like me and not be mine?
It is extremely possible. The only way to determine paternity unequivocably is a DNA test. More rarely, you may find that you and your girlfriend may share a common ancestor, so that even very distinguishing traits may not guarantee that her son is your biological offspring.
