For mohamed you are wrong, European nobility is not related to him, then Europeans have no lineage with him ( or not by direct noble lineage ) . On the Other hand the caliph Uthman , the third caliph , who was married with two daughter of mohamed , get married to another woman. And the descendants of this last wife were involved in the conquest of Spain, and then the descendants became lords. There was a mix between Uthman lineage and Spanish nobles families several time, and one of them was with a Spanish king of Pamplona. And then the descendants spread all over Europe by the mobility of the nobility. Louis XIV was one of his descendant, like Queen Elizabeth II.
My family did genealogical research, and they found two little noble women in distant branches at different time.
With the help of a website specialized in genealogy of nobility well what i got was very interesting.
The more there are generations, the more the origins spread all over Europe and further, from Norway to Arabia, from Spain to ... Persia ( Sasanian Sha) and Armenia.
It begins to little nobles without title, then some lords of villages and after here and appears high nobles, baron ,then count, etc... and then kings and queens in all Europe and earlier Emperors in Byzantine Empire and in Rome, , and from exotic origin two lineage of caliphs and King of the king in Persia.
Reading the list of the nobles ancestries at a moment is reading the history of my country but of the Europe too, sometime both side of wars like in the reconquista or both sides of battles like at hasting.

For Charlemagne you are wrong, he has numerous children, legitimates and bastards, then he had a lot of descendants among the nobility and among the common peoples.
And like said in the video at each generation you have more descendants.
Statistically, almost every European can have him as ancestry, well the best serious guess is around 50%, some say 10%.
For mohamed you are right, at least for the Europeans.
The most famous muslin ancestor of Europeans must be the caliph Uthman , his wife who is not from mohamed , gave male descendants who were involved in the conquest of Spain, and some girl were married with local Spanish lord. And with the natural spread of noble families in Europe their descendants are all over Europe.
Louis XIV is one of them, the Queen Elizabeth of England is one of them.
... and i am one of them.

" Exactly how many generations does dna testing cover?"
you must have some genes of neanderthal....
It does not work like this.
For each gene you have the gene of the first person who get this version of the gene, it can be very very old, or just from the middle age, or more younger.
It is about the DNA of how many ancestries you can get.
You have half of the genes from your mother, and half of your gens from your father, and you have tens of thousands of genes with a version from your father and your mother, else for the men at the level of sexual chromosomes. Chromosome Y is shorter and have a set of genes specific to itself.
It is the same thing for both parent, your grand parents.
At each generation give to his child one of the version of one gene, from his mother or his father, and then you lost half of the information.
For example, if you are a descendant of Arab caliph Uthan I like the Queen Elizabeth, living in the 7th century ( it can be in the order of 40-50 generations ), his genes or of all other Arabian ancestries, can have been lost since a long time, and then in a genetic test you could not have any information about this.
