At what age does a fetus develop fingerprints?
I believe that fetal fingerprints are fully formed by 12 weeks/3months of gestation. Fingerprints are actually created by fetal movements - as the young fetus moves within the uterus, its skin shifts, forming the ridges of its fingerprints. This is the reason why no two people have the same fingerprints, even identical twins.
A fetus acquires fingerprints at what age?
in the first trimester/3 MONTHS
How is the fetus affected when a pregnant woman uses caffeine?
Caffeine can pass from a pregnant woman's body into the developing fetus.
Are fingerprint patterns hereditary?
No, fingerprints are not genetic and are not influenced by heredity. They are, in fact, formed during the first and second trimesters of a fetus' life. The formation of the patterns (during this stage only) are influenced by the fetus' environment (the mother's placenta) and position within. By the time the third trimester arrives, the fetus' fingerprints, palm prints, and foot prints are fully formed and will remain unchanged until death. The only difference is the size of the fingerprints, which will grow (but not change) as the fetus (child) grows up. Fun fact, even though identical twins share the same DNA, their fingerprints are completely different, and can always be used to tell the two apart. This is because no two (or three, or however many) fetus' can be in the exact same position at the exact same time, even though they share the same environment.
What often happens to a fetus with Patau Syndrome?

Why would a 5 month fetus kick a lot?
A five month old fetus will kick alot because there is lots of room to do it in....as your pregnancy progresses these movements will feel stronger as baby runs out of space........He/She is playing.
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.
What are epidermal ridges and dermal papillae?
Epidermal Ridges: the ridges of the epidermis found in the palms and soles, where the sweat pores open; form in fetus as epidermis conforms to the dermal papillae aka fingerprints Dermal Papillae: finger like projections in the papillary region of the dermis where the epidermis conforms for fingerprints
