Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fingerprint pattern can be affected by the pressure and friction against various surfaces during fetal development, such as when the developing fetus touches the wall of the amniotic sac. This can result in unique patterns that are influenced by the environment. The other options involve intentional or unintentional alteration of the fingerprint pattern by external forces, rather than natural environmental influences that occur during development.
