Is there DNA in cooked meat or dead skin cells?

Question

is there DNA in cooked meat like a chicken thigh. or maybe a flake of dead skin (ew). ye thanks.

Answer 1

yea tehres dna in every cell i think

Answer 2

Dna is present in all the organism the genetic material present in all or organism the dna is well preserved in the nucleus bu the nuclear membrane and it is not left out until there is an plasmolysis occurring in the cell. The protein may under go de naturation after heating the meat that an criteria.

Answer 3

Yes.

But every cell does not contain DNA. Your red blood cells are one of the few cell types that do not contain a nucleus and thus they do not divide. Immature Red blood cells, however, contain a nucleus.

And sure, cooking will denature DNA but it will not break the covalent bonds connecting nucleotides. Single stranded DNA is still DNA.

Answer 4

of course - every cell has DNA

Answer 5

There is DNA in dead skin cells. In fact there is DNA in any dead soft tissue cells (in hard tissue you can find mitochondrial DNA). But I doubt that you can find DNA in any cooked meat because it will denature in hot temperatures.
