What causes fingerprints?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Are fingerprints formed by ridge characteristics and minutae?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How do you hide fingerprints?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many ways to hide fingerprints for both bad and good reasons (not many good reasons though). If you want to hide fingerprints you can either wear thick gloves or gloves such as baseball gloves, not mitts. Also there are ways to prevent from showing fingerprints, and that is pooring sulfuric acid on your fingers but involves pain (obviously woldn't recommend at all). Also another way is to use bleach as a cover up (bleach's ingrediants "eliminate" DNA, but is also used for a bad purpose)

How do you collect fingerprints?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fingerprints form naturally during the development of the human fetus, starting about 13 weeks after conception. The inner surfaces of the fingers and the palms of the hands, which are covered with hairless (glabrous) skin, develop tiny 'pods', which are the precursors of the pores of sweat glands. These pods, or ridge units, expand and coalesce with neighbouring pods, producing roughly linear ridges, with the sweat pores distributed along their crests, raised above the surface of the surrounding skin. These form the familiar parallel and swirling ridges and intervening furrows, the exact pattern of which is determined by complex, irregular stresses in the skin.
