Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is papillary layer. The papillary layer of the skin is responsible for fingerprints. The fingerprints are produced from a layer in the skin called the papillary layer, which is a layer within the dermal layer of skin. It produces an extra thick layer to form the ridges of fingerprints.
Detailed explanation-2: -The study of fingerprints is called dermotoglyphics. No two fingerprints are alike, even in twins. Fingerprints are “silent witnesses”, or physical evidence, at a crime scene. The pattern on your hands and feet are called friction ridges. It’s these ridges that make fingerprints.
