    DO WE INHERIT FINGERPRINTS

     

    Biology group members had a lecture and a workshop about fingerprints, given by a forensic scientist Roko Barić. Students learned about types of fingerprints and how to collect samples from varied materials. During a talk with the forensic scientist a question popped up - are fingerprints inherited trait? As this seemed like an interesting topic for a scientific research two students (Ines Sataić and Nicol Eršeg) decided to do a proper research. After they learned the basics about the topic from the literature, students asked a fellow students to take a part in the research as the test subjects. They collected fingerprints from their fellow students and their families. Research showed some verry interesting results, so this project was applied for a national biology competition. Here you will find some pictures from workshop, while conducting a research and from competition itself.
