Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In some instances, negative latent fingerprints may be formed when an individual touches a surface that is either covered in dust, for example, or that is sticky for some reason.
Detailed explanation-2: -These ridges form in the womb (12 weeks) and do not alter with growth or age. Each ridge of the epidermis (outer skin) is dotted with sweat pores for its entire length and is anchored to the dermis (inner skin) by a double row of peglike protrusions called papillae. It is the papillae which makes our unique print.
