No. DNA is like the pattern for our entire body.

do not worry. The R.B.Cs in the peripheral blood are matured and do not have nucleus where the DNA are stored. Only the nucleated RBCs found in the bonemarrow (immatured) have got the DNA in them. Only the WBCs in the peripheral blood have nucleus and DNA inside the nucleus. But the life span of WBCs are very short and as soon as they come out of our body they die and so the DNA does not enter into your body alive. If at all they enter they won't corrupt your blood stream since the implantation of the stem cells only can make DNA change and not just the transfusion.

Yes, but not much and not for long. Most of the components of blood don't contain DNA, and none of them last more than a few weeks.

good question, never thought about it before but yes. Red blood cells have DNA exactly the same as all other cells.
I know the blood types have to match so I wonder if the DNA plays an active part in the new bloodstream?

I suppose it must do to an extent, but it's no worse than eating something raw. Your immune system will sort it out, and blood's never in your system for too long anyway before it's renewed.

reb blood cells do not contain dna- they have no nucleus which is where dna is stored. white blood cells contain dna, but most blood is white blood cell reduced (by a special filter after collection), so no you really don't have another persons dna in your system.

only white blood cells in the blood have the donater's dna...red blood cells do not contain any genetic material...
anyway, the amount of white blood cells is very little and it dies after a few days anyway...so it doesn't matter...
