Fingerprints

Fingerprints are very important to your DNA. They help solve crimes if you are stored on the criminal list. Nobody in the world has the same fingerprints as yourself, not even if you are identical twin, triplets, quads or so on... There is many different kinds of fingerprints such as whorls, arch or loops. You can easily take your own fingerprints by pressing your finger (any finger) on a ink pad and smoothly rolling on to a piece of paper. Since the late nineteenth century, fingerprint identification methods have been used by police agencies around the world to identify both suspected criminals as well as the victims of crime. The basis of the traditional fingerprinting technique is simple. The skin on the palm surface of the hands and feet forms ridges, so-called papillary ridges, in patterns that are unique to each individual and which do not change over time. If you put your hand on anything a bit of your fingerprint will go on the subject and the police will be able to detect you if a crime has gone on so, you wont be able to get away with anything!
