Answer: True

Explanation:

  • DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material present inside the nucleus of all eukaryotic cells.
  • Samples as small as few skin cells also contain DNA and the presence of DNA in skin cells is often used to identify the DNA of a person in a crime scene.
  • Further, with the use of PCR technology, the small amount of DNA obtained from skin cells can be amplified into many copies.
  • Therefore, the given statement is true.
