Technically, yes. You lose epithelial cells pretty much any time that you move at all, and those cells contain your DNA.

Well if there were any sort of cells in your sneeze yes you technically lost DNA. Fortunately, your body remembered to make a back up copy. An exact replica of your DNA is stored in every cell in your body (except red blood cells). So though some DNA may technically be in your sneeze, nothing is "lost".

Yes.
Sneeze aerosols contain cellular debris from the nasal and bronchial passages that contain DNA. Further, some colds viruses are DNA-viruses that get shed and transmitted through coughs and sneezes.

Your DNA that constructs you,.. those lines,.. They don't change.
You still have the same DNA.
However you lose matter out of your nose,.. and that matter is constructed of DNA. That doesn't change your bodies strands of DNA though.

I think so. It really has not been proven yet. I know when you sneeze everything loosens up including your saliva. DNA is also in your saliva. Good Question. -SMILE-!!!!!

of course! you lose it b/cwhen you sneeze there is usally some snot that flies out and in your snot is DNA.
so, if you committ a crime, then don't sneeze!
