Question

Could your dna be mistaken with your cousin's dna in a court case?

Answer 1

Highly unlikely.. Because your 'cousins' DNA would be different to yours, way different... That would be too big a mistake. Although i would think identical twins might get mistaken as thier DNA is 100% same.. So a DNA test can't determine the difference between identical twins, while a simple fingerprint can.

For Even Faternal twins which are from the same mother and father the DNA is 50% same, so from this you can see cousins DNA would be too different when compared.
