What happens to the DNA after a blood transfusion?

Will the person have two types of DNA? because the blood that was transferred has a different DNA.


Red blood cells are the only cells in the body that have no nucleus and thus no DNA chomosomes.  

The DNA in other cells (lumphocytes for ex)that come along in the transfusion eventually get chewed up and reduced to their constituent molecules just like the DNA in native cells get dismantled when the cell dies.
