Fingerprint Inheritance
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2023 10:08 am
Hello! I thought it might be a good idea to reach out to an expert about my science fair project... For my science fair project I chose the topic "Are Fingerprint Patterns Inherited?" which I found on science buddies. However I am a bit confused on the variables. So far this is what I have:
Independent Variable: If the people are related
Dependent Variable: How similar the fingerprints are
Control Variables: The tools used for sampling. The finger used for sampling (right index finger). The technique used for sampling.
My teacher asked for 4-5 control variables but I only have 3... If anyone could give me ideas and feedback for my variables that would be awesome. Thank you!
