CHEM 300 LAW and Ridge Classification Questions

1st assignment: Apply the L.A.W. Pattern Classification system for the Two fingerprints and identify and classify nine ridges for each fingerprint for the document attached. The assignment submission should contain:

Proper grammar, and be free of spelling errors.

Correct application of the L.A.W system of identification.

Proper identification of nine Ridges for each fingerprint.

The first attachment is for the first assignment, that’s where the information will be written.

2nd assignment: L.A.W. and Primary Classification FBI-Henry Formula Activity (FBI FD-258 form). Apply the L.A.W. Pattern Classification system and the Henry-FBI formula for the Primary Classification (Fraction) for the ten fingerprints of the suspect impressed on the FBI FD-258 form attached in the pdf document.

Proper grammar, and be free of spelling errors.

Correct application of the L.A.W (Loop, Arch, Whorl) pattern system of identification for each of the ten suspect’s fingerprints.

Correct application of the Henry-FBI mathematical formula for the Primary Classification (Fraction) of the suspect’s fingerprints.

Note: The Henry-FBI mathematical formula includes five fractions composed by the ten fingers and an extra 1/1 fraction is added.  The presence or absence of Whorl pattern is the basis for this system of identification. If a Whorl pattern is found on any finger of the first pair or fraction it receives a value of 16; on the second pair, a value of 8; on the third pair, a value of 4; on the fourth pair, a value of 2; and on the fifth pair, a value of 1. The value of zero is assign to any Loop or Arch.
