finger print

is it that, all the fingerprints of 10 fingers of a person is always the same? Can fingerprints tell that a particular finger print is a male's fingerprint or female's?

Dear Gupta,

Answer to first portion of your query is 'NO'.

Every fingerprint is unique, there are no common characteristics. There are seven different types of fingerprints with same pattern, but with a difference that the ridges can come together or split apart makes for a huge variety of different prints.

Answer to secod portion of query is:

There is no specific difference between male and female fingerprints.
In some cases, obviously male digits are larger in surface area, but as far as classifications is concerned, there is nothing to distinguish between male and female.
