Which of the followings is not true about finger print?

Explanation

Fingerprints are unique patterns of ridges and furrows on the tips of our fingers. They have been used for many years in criminal investigations because they can help identify suspects. This Biology question is asking which statement about fingerprints is not true. Option A states that fingerprints are useful in detecting crime, which is true. Investigators can use fingerprints found at a crime scene to match them with a suspect's fingerprints. Option B says that no two individuals have the same fingerprint, which is also true. Even identical twins have different fingerprints. Option C states that fingerprints are a heritable character, which means that they can be passed down from one generation to the next. This is also true. Children often have fingerprints that are similar to those of their parents. Option D, which is the correct answer to the question, states that fingerprints are environmentally induced. This statement is not true. Fingerprints are formed during fetal development and are determined by genetic factors, not environmental factors. In summary, the correct answer to this question is Option D. Fingerprints are not environmentally induced. To learn more about this, please read the relevant sections of the recommended textbooks.
