Front

What is the evolutionary purpose of fingerprints?

Back

The evolutionary purpose of fingerprints is to help grasp objects, providing better friction and grip.

Front

What is a Plain Whorl in fingerprint patterns?

Back

A Plain Whorl is a fingerprint pattern that has circular ridges that make a complete circuit.

Front

What are deltas in fingerprint analysis?

Back

Deltas are the triangular regions found in fingerprint patterns, indicating the point where ridges diverge.

Front

What are the three main types of fingerprint patterns?

Back

The three main types of fingerprint patterns are Loops, Whorls, and Arches.

Front

How do you identify a Ulnar Loop?

Back

An Ulnar Loop is identified by its ridges that enter from the thumb side and exit from the little finger side.

Front

What distinguishes a Central Pocket Whorl from a Plain Whorl?

Back

A Central Pocket Whorl has two deltas and a core, while a Plain Whorl has a complete circuit without a core.

Front

What is the significance of fingerprint ridges?

Back

Fingerprint ridges enhance grip and tactile sensitivity, aiding in the manipulation of objects.

Front

What is an Accidental Whorl?

Back

An Accidental Whorl is a fingerprint pattern that combines two or more different patterns, making it unique.
