A chromatogram is like a chemical fingerprint because a fingerprint is diffrent for every single person in the world and to indicate who is who we use fingerprints, for chromatography its a bit diffrent because you can have more than 2 types of the same thing. For example if someone has been killed & they found a little ink next ti the person, they would collect the ink. Then they would find the few people they think are the suspects. They would take a bit of each suspects' ink and then they would use chromatography to indicate who did it (who has the same ink as the murdurer ). So basically a chromatogram is like a chemical fingerprint because they both indicate who is who or who did what.
