4. Would have your ancestry traced using DNA? Why/why not?

Solution

Ancestry tracing by DNA relies upon small tandem repeats in the DNA sequences. One may go for checking the ancestry using DNA because:

1. It is a fool proof technology

2. It helps us to understand the history and the migration pattern of our ancestors

3. It helps to bridge emotional gaps between the races. The similarity in the DNA sequences of different races is a gentle reminder that we all are humans.
