Hello Melissa (or Deborah . . .),
I am pleased that you are excited about your result. What do you think
it tells you about the genetic basis of fingerprints? How do you think
different fingerprints arise?
And does this mean that your parents will now buy a fingerprint kit so
that they can tell whether it was you or your sister who wrecked the
car? :-))
