Your Fingerprints

Inherited From: Mother
Note: All fingerprints are different but yours may resemble your mother!

Your fingerprint patterns are unique; in fact, they are the only thing that distinguishes you from the billions of other people on the earth. However, this does not mean that you are solely responsible for your fingerprints; your mother also had an important role in their formation. And we don’t mean only because they formed while you were in your mother’s womb, but because she handed down certain genes to you that determined the shape and patterns of your fingerprints. Nobody has ever had fingerprints like yours, and no one will in the future. Despite this, fingerprints are a genetic property. Isn’t this fascinating?

Although there are several surgical and non-surgical methods for getting faux dimples, our genes are the primary culprit. Yes, dimples are a genetic feature that we usually get from our fathers! So, if you have or don’t have dimples, you can either thank or blame your father.
