Solution

DNA in urine

  1. Urine does not have DNA wholly present.
  2. Instead, it contains epithelial cells that have DNA.
  3. If it is stored at 20 ° C for twenty-eight days, about seventy-five percent of the DNA is destroyed.
  4. A temperature of 80 ° C improves recovery after up to twenty-eight days of storage.
  5. Therefore, urine contains DNA that lasts for 28 days.
