Copy of Fingerprints
Hypothesis:
Question:
We believe that although each fingerprint is different and there is no same fingerprint as the others', their patterns could be passed through generations. For example if the parents of a child shared a loop pattern, daughter and son could also have a loop fingerprint pattern. We think that there are also some kind of dominant and recessive genes that make the respective patterns of the children's fingerprints, just as DNA cases.

Are fingerprints inherited?

IMPORTANT!
These patterns never change, not even with age. Some children's fingerprints depend on their parents' fingerprint patterns, but this may not always be the case for others and their close relatives.
Sometimes, to more clearly see how fingerprint patterns are inherited, you would need to use large amounts of sample sizes, and sometimes, these would just not be inherited.
Conclusion
Introduction:
Research:
In researches, we have found that we, as a human race, have been having fingerprints since before we were born, more exactly, during weeks 10 and 24 the time our "skin" is developed.
Each person's fingerprints are different, also identical twins that share the same DNA would not have identical fingerprints. So as a result, we get to know that not all fingerprints are controlled by genetics.
Often, we see children that look just as their father or their mother, as well known, this is because 50% of father's and 50% of mother's DNA is inherited to the child, having as a result a child with very similar physical traits as his/her parent. Could something so small and detailed as a fingerprint be inherited also?
Fingerprints are the unique identification among and between one another, these are a characteristic of ourselves that make us different one from another because these are carefully detailed, but fingerprints do have very similar patterns also. Each person has a different kind of pattern, but we can classify them into some groups such as whorls, loops and others.
Each fingerprint also says something characteristics of us.
