    Fingerprints are tiny ridge patterns on human fingers that are unique to each individual. They form in the womb as pressure is placed on developing fingers, and a person's fingerprints may be similar to their mother's. DNA is also important, as the US government has spent money to study DNA sequences to better understand genetic diseases. A fun quiz question notes the extremely low 1 in 64 billion chance that any two people would have the exact same fingerprint pattern, and that whorls are the least common type of fingerprint pattern.
