If you mean where do your fingerprints come from: You are born with them. They form in the womb during the 3rd month.
"Fingerprints are laid down between the 13th and the 19th week of growth in the womb. There are at least two factors that can give different fingerprints.
First, the DNA doesn't make a perfect copy of itself every time it divides - it picks up mutations. To get from one single cell to the 10-100 trillion cells of a grown adult human, the DNA has to divide many many times. This gives ample opportunity for many mutations to accumulate.
Second, the mathematicians tell us that if the foetus had flattened finger pads, the baby is more likely to have the simpler arch pattern, or the slightly more complicated loop pattern. But on the other hand, if the foetus had swollen finger pads, baby is more likely to have the more complex whorl pattern of ridges. The two identical twins might grow in the same uterus, but they have different lengths and diameters of umbilical cord, so they will each get a different blood flow. The twin with the lesser blood flow will cut down the blood flow to the lower body, to preserve it for the brain. By an accident of anatomy, this gives more blood flowing into the arms. The baby ends up with proportionately bigger fingers, and more whorls in their fingerprints.
In 2003, a paper called On the similarity of identical twin fingerprints was published in The Journal of the Pattern Recognition Society. They found that the fingerprints of 94 "identical" twins were not identical - although they were more similar than non-related people."
What else can I help you with?
Can you change your fingerprints?
No - fingerprints are set at the time of birth. However, you can try to remove them (an extremely painful process).
How do you change your fingerprints?
It is generally not possible to change your fingerprints. Fingerprints are unique to each individual and are determined by genetic factors. Attempting to alter or change your fingerprints is a complex process and may not be successful.
Are both hands fingerprints the same?
No, each hand has a unique set of fingerprints. Even the fingerprints on each individual finger of the same hand are different. This uniqueness is what makes fingerprints a reliable form of identification.
Do twins have different fingerprints?
Yes, twins have different fingerprints. Even identical twins, who share the same DNA, have unique fingerprints because fingerprints are formed randomly in the womb due to factors like pressure and environment.
Do siblings have any similarities with their fingerprints?
No, siblings do not have similar fingerprints. Fingerprints are unique to each individual, including identical twins. The patterns and ridges that form fingerprints are determined by a combination of genetics and random factors during fetal development.
When did fingerprints come out?
People have always had fingerprints. Also, everyones fingerprints are diffrent.
Why do only half of a child's fingerprints match his mothers?
None of a child's fingerprints will match his or her mother's fingerprints. Each individual has different fingerprints. Even identical twins have different fingerprints.
What is the only animal whose fingerprints can not be distinguished from human fingerprints?
The koala is the only animal with distinctive and unique fingerprints. The fingerprints are very similar to that of humans in that they are comprised of patterns, but the trained eye can distinguish them quite easily from human fingerprints.
How many fingerprints are there?
There are 8 tipes of fingerprints
What is the name for hidden fingerprints?
latent fingerprints
How many fingerprints are the same?
None. No one has the same fingerprints as you, and none of your fingerprints are exactly the same.
Are families fingerprints the same?
no families fingerprints are not the same
Who can have identical fingerprints?
Nobody, all fingerprints are different.
Are fingerprints really the same?
No one's fingerprints are alike.
Do fingerprints provide DNA?
Fingerprints do not provide DNA themselves. It is the DNA that creates the contours of your fingerprints, so rather than providing the DNA fingerprints merely support it. Therefore, if DNA is already available it can easily be linked to fingerprints.
Are koalas fingerprints nearly identical to human fingerprints?
Not really. While koalas are the only known animal to have distinctive fingerprints, they can be distinguished from the fingerprints of a human. Like humans, their fingerprints comprise ridges in a variety of patterns.
Do koalas and humans have unique fingerprints?
Not really. While koalas are the only known animal to have distinctive fingerprints, they can be distinguished from the fingerprints of a human. Like humans, their fingerprints comprise ridges in a variety of patterns.
