When you recieve a blood donation, what happens to the DNA of the blood you recieved?

Normally, red blood cells have no nucleus at all. So no DNA there.

If you receive white blood cells, they generally don't reproduce, so the DNA gets digested and recycled with the rest of the cell when it dies.

If you receive a bone marrow transplant, it will have stem cells that can keep making more blood cells. The recipient now has blood cells with the donor's DNA.
