Question

Is there a DNA test can find out race I am, and if so what is it called.?

Answer 1

I think any DNA profile would tell that.  There's really not much difference at all between races of humans as race is really something we classify in our minds.  But of course DNA shows sequences that are common in one race and not so much in others.  

One test is the mitochondrial DNA test which tells where your maternal lineage comes from.  This test tells where your mother's mother's mother's mother's mother. . . (and so on) originated.  Sometimes the answer is a little surprising.  

There are many other tests available such as a complete genome map or Y chromosome mapping if you're a male.  You can find a lot of DNA testing labs online.

Answer 2

DNA is better at determining parentage than race.  Race is a very complex issue and cannot be determined by DNA alone.

Answer 3

I know what race i am. I just have no idea what nationality. So i hope there are tests like that.
