Fingerprint Pattern

The scientific study of fingerprints is called:

• Antropometry

• Ridgeoscopy

• Dermis

• Dactyloscopy

This fingerprint pattern has one or more ridges entering from one side, curving then exiting from the same side it entered:

• Loop

• Core

• Arch

• Whorl

This is the triangular area found in all loop and whorl patterns:

• Delta

• Ridges

• Core

• Minutiae

Which fingerprint pattern is described as starting like a loop but ending with a whorl?

• Plain Whorl

• Central Pocket Loop Whorl

• Double Loop Whorl

• Accidental Whorl

How many deltas and cores do loop fingerprint patterns have?

• 2 deltas, 1 core

• 1 delta, 2 cores

• 1 delta, 1 core

• 2 deltas, 2 cores

What distinguishes a plain whorl from a central pocket whorl?

• A plain whorl has no deltas.

• A central pocket loop whorl has ridges that do not touch the line between deltas.

• A plain whorl has ridges that touch the line between deltas.

• A central pocket loop whorl has more than two deltas.
