Hard to say: You get more from this site when you provide background info on a problem and ask a related question. Blind questions are often too vague to answer. We can do a lot of things to any cells we might find in or on any substance. If your concern is identifying paternity, chromosome problems, inherited diseases, etc, you should say so. You are welcome to start over. Posts are not linked.
