archA fingerprint pattern in whichthe ridge pattern originates

from one side of the print andleaves from the other side

5%Arch fingerprints are

found in this percent ofthe population

core The center of a loop orwhorl pattern

Give the two possiblenames for the branch of

science which studiesfingerprints

dermal or friction ridgesRaised portions of the

skin, arranged inconnected units, which

form fingerprints

delta

A triangular ridge pattern withridges that go in differentdirections above and below atriangle; found in all loop andwhorl patterns

fingerprintAn impression left on any

surface that consists ofpatterns made by ridges

on the tip of a finger

loopA fingerprint pattern in

which the ridge enters fromone side, curves, then exits

on the same side

65%Loop fingerprints are

found in this percent ofthe population

latentA hidden fingerprint

made visible through theuse of powders or other

techniques

minutiae

The combination of details inthe shapes and positions ofridges in fingerprints that makeeach unique; also called ridgecharacteristics

patentA fingerprint that happens whenfingers with blood, ink, chalk,grease or dirt on them touch asurface and transfer the pattern oftheir fingerprint to that surface

plasticA three-dimensional

fingerprint made in softmaterial such as clay,

soap, paint, putty, or wax

whorl A fingerprint pattern thatresembles a bull's-eye

30%Whorl fingerprints are

ninhydrinThis fingerprint test resultsin a purple-blue print whenamino acids found in sweat

react with this chemical

silver nitrateChloride from salt in

sweat on a printcombines with this to

form dark colored prints
