What does the morphology of hair tell forensic scientists

Advanced Placement (AP)
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
3 0
Historically, hair has been considered class evidence because a hair specimen could not be identified with certainty as having originated from a particular person. A forensic scientist who studied the morphology (shape, form, and structure) of a hair specimen could testify as to the gross physical characteristics of the hair (color, degree of curl, etc.), its internal and external structural characteristics, the likely somatic region from which the hair originated (scalp, beard, pubic, axillary, etc.), and–at least for scalp hair, and often for pubic hair, the probable race of the person from whom the hair originated. But all of those are class characteristics rather than individual characteristics, so the most the forensic scientist can state based on morphological examination is that a hair specimen is “consistent with” or “similar in all respect to” another specimen.

Why did President Jefferson want the Louisiana territory explored?
VLD [36.1K]
Thomas Jefferson had been interested in exploring the west well before the 1803 Louisiana Purchase for France.  During the 1780's and 1790's, he championed a few failed attempts at such an exploration.  Believing the United States needed to expand west to help ensure its survival and prosperity, he jumped at the chance to buy Louisiana from France's Napoleon Bonaparte.

what is the most likely outcome of making only on-time minimum payments to a credit card with a balance for an entire year?
defon

If you pay the minimum toward your balance each month, here’s what you can expect to happen:

<span>Paying down your debt will take much longer.You’ll rack up bigger interest charges.<span>Your credit score could take a hit. 

</span></span>Credit card issuers tend to set minimum payment requirements at rock-bottom levels. You’ll generally owe either a fixed amount — often $25 — or a percentage of the balance, whichever’s greater. Some cards require you to pay only 1% or 2% of the balance each month, plus any fees and accrued interest. Making these small payments on time will let you avoid late fees<span>, but you won’t make any real progress on paying down your balance.</span>
