Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between fingerprint patterns and blood groups among Libyan students, aiming to identify potential correlations that may exist between these two phenotypic traits. Fingerprint patterns were analyzed using standard classification methods, while blood group determination followed established laboratory protocols. Statistical analysis was employed to assess any significant associations between specific fingerprint types (arches, loops, whorls) and blood group categories (A, B, AB, O). Results indicate intriguing patterns of correlation, suggesting potential implications for forensic and genetic research. The findings underscore the relevance of fingerprint and blood group analysis in understanding genetic diversity and phenotypic variability within the Libyan student population.
