Yes, fingerprints are formed by the unique combination of ridge patterns and minutiae. Ridge characteristics refer to the ridges and furrows that form the overall pattern of a fingerprint, such as loops, whorls, and arches. Minutiae are the specific unique features within the ridge patterns, such as ridge endings, bifurcations, and dot-like formations. The combination of these ridge characteristics and minutiae make each fingerprint unique and identifiable.

Do fingerprint examiners count fingerprint ridges?
Fingerprint Examiners count the number of intervening ridges between minutiae (places where something occurs such as the ridge ending or bifurcating into two ridges ) to ensure that the occurrences are in the same spatial relationship on both fingerprints. They are looking for similarities and dissimilarities between the two impressions. They are not counting the total number of ridges present. That can change too easily merely from the pressure variances from one touch to another. The Examiner reviews the information present and determines if there is sufficient agreement and no unexplainable differences to conclude the fingerprints share a common origin.
Where can ridge characteristics be found in fingerprints?
Ridge characteristics in fingerprints can be found in the form of features like ridge endings, bifurcations, dots, islands, and creases. These unique patterns are useful for individual identification and can be located in the minutiae points within the fingerprint.

Where do you get your fingerprints?
They are formed in the womb during the 3rd month after conception. There is some genetic influence - the size of the fetus's volar pads affects overall pattern type, but the environment in the womb affects how the ridge units form into ridges. This is why identical twins do not have the same fingerprints even though their DNA is the same.
