The first systematic attempt at personal identification was devised and introduced by [blank]. -
ANSBertillon
A system of identification relying on precise body measurements is known as [blank]. -
ANSanthropometry

[blank]. - ANSSir Edward Richard Henry
T/F : The first systematic and official use of fingerprints for personal identification in the US was
adopted by the New York City Civil Service Commission. - ANSTrue
The individuality of a fingerprint (is, is not) determined by its pattern. - ANSis not
A point-by-point comparison of a fingerprint's [blank] must be demonstrated in order to prove
identity. - ANSridge characteristics
[Blank] are a reproduction of friction skin ridges. - ANSFingerprints
The form and pattern of skin ridges are determined by the (epidermis, dermal papillae). -
ANSdermal papillae
A permanent scar forms in the skin only when an injury damages the [blank]. - ANSdermal
papillae
Fingerprints (can, cannot) be changed during a person's lifetime. - ANScannot
The three general patterns into which fingerprints are divided are [blank], [blank], and [blank]. -
ANSloops, whorls, and arches
The most common fingerprint pattern is the [blank]. - ANSloop
Approximately 5% of the population has the [blank] fingerprint pattern. - ANSarches
A loop pattern that opens towards the thumb is known as a (radial, ulnar) loop. - ANSradial
The pattern area of the loop is enclosed by two diverging ridges known as the [blank]. -
ANStype lines
The ridge point nearest the type line divergence is known as the [blank]. - ANSdelta
