Paternity test

A paternity test is a scientific method used to determine whether a man is the biological father of a child. It compares specific genetic markers in the child's DNA with those in the potential father's DNA. If the markers match consistently, it confirms biological paternity with high accuracy. The test is typically done using a sample of saliva or blood from the child and the potential father. Results usually take a few days and are used for legal, personal, or medical reasons to establish family relationships.
