A5 DNA gets more and more randomized over each differences can be compared from the past five (5) or six (6) generations 7 after that it is too mixed up and randomlIed to be useful for genealogical purposes. Additionally, humans illherit 50% erllieir father's DNA and 50% el'tlieirmellier's DNA 7 after that DNA is quite random and mixed up. So. the 50% clear mother's DNA could be lnade up era large portion of her mother anti a small portion of her father. Although she inherited 50% of each parent it has been recombined before being passed 01L it has been determined that humans have forty--six (46) chromosomes, twenty-three (23) from eaell biological parent. ottlle twenty-three (23) chromosomes from each parent, twenty-two (22) (44 in total) ol'them are called the "alltosomes" (this is where the name antesolnal test comes from). Chromosomes have areas where each human is different 7 these ~erenees are called SNl's. [five are closely related to someone our differences are the Sallie as their dlt't'erenees (Le. red hair, big nose, long legs) Tile SNPs are tlte areas of DNA that are used for genealogical purposes and tlle various SNl's that are tested can be measured in a eertaln way that makes them comparable for close relatives The measure used by the testing companies is a eellthorgan (CM). This is not a simple measurement like inches, or a eotlntol'tllings. It'sa mathematical formula that works out what tlieycall"genetle dlstauce." importantly. the more shared centiMol-gan (the higher the number), the closer tlte match the suspect was to someone (and the more likely they had a shared ancestor), There are in tact two centiMurgan numbers tllal are relevant in our DNA testing; the "total shared ecutiMurgan" and the "largest celltiMorgan" sometimes ealled "longest block" (this tile is largest segment of DNA, or to put it simply \vhere tlte shaled DNA is all together and not Split up). Full have a lot of DNA in common (because tltey both got 50% from the some parents), they have a shared eentiMorgau of around 2,550 but they are not identical be ttlse of the DNA Inheritance and how the DNA passed on is randomized, Second cousins maleh at approximately 212,5cM Different websltes have charts to help work out wllat the likely relationship ol'a match ls, based on tile total shared cenliMorgalL These charts become imaluable to search for a common ancestor ot'the subject and the subject maleh when looking for a common ancestor olle (l generation back or four (4) generations back.
