DNA Question?

Question:

DNA Question?

Do you have DNA from all of your ancestors, even the first ones or does DNA eventually go away. Like for example, say someone has an ancestor from Isreal or Syria, would that make them part Jewish or part Syrian(though very little) or does DNA go away completely? I had asked a similar question, but I'm trying to simplify my question.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It never goes away; this is how geneticists claim they can trace people "all the way back", by the mutations. Male DNA mutates much more quickly than female DNA; taken together, they write a "pretty compelling" story. Yes, if you have ancestors from long ago in Israel or Syria, it will show: it did for me. So far, I have traced my ancestry back to 3 different types of Jews...
In addition to the National Geographis Genotype program, you can also check with www.familytreedna.com for more information on genetics and DNA. It is exciting stuff. Source(s):
genealogical studies hmmm..good question It does not go away. Go here:
