What is the source material in cheek cell DNA isolation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Buccal epithelial cells

A cheek swab collects buccal epithelial cells from the inner lining of the cheek. These cells contain nuclei and therefore genomic DNA, making them the source material for DNA isolation. The watery part of saliva is mainly water; DNA is obtained chiefly from the cells present in the sample. Exam tip: For DNA isolation, first identify whether the sample contains nucleated cells.
