How do you get dimples?

That is the great question! I do not know the answer. I have not read it any where. It is purely a guess work. But it should be correct. Facial muscles are very superficial muscles. In case of the dimple the muscle fibers spread in all the direction away from the dimple site. When the muscle contracts, skin is pulled inside to give you dimple. I have been thinking about the dimple for decades, as I love the dimple very much.


Dimples are a dominant characteristic If one parent does not have dimples and one parent is heterozygous for dimples what chance does a child have for getting dimples?

A dimple is a dominant trait. If a father has two dominant dimple genes (DD) and the mother has two recessive dimple genes (dd), the baby's dimple alleles will be Dd, meaning he will have dimples.


Is dimple heridity?

Yes. Dimples are dominant. If you have one or two dimples, you have the dominant trait, and your genotype is D-, meaning that we don't know whether you are homozygous dominant or heterozygous for the trait. If you don't have dimples, your genotype is dd, which is homozygous recessive.


Is it bad to have dimples on your tongue?

If you have dimples on your tongue from your childhood, that is not bad. Some people may feel good about it. Dimples appearing after you have become adult are problematic. You need to consult the general surgeon or dentist who have done post graduation in oral surgery.


What do you call a boy with bigs ears?

There are many possible deformities that may result in ears that project excessively from the head. Some of these are cup ear deformity, telephone ear deformity, "reverse" telephone ear deformity, Stahl ear deformity, cryptotia, deeply cupped concha, among others. Macrotia is reserved for large ears, but these may also protrude.

Why dimples on face are formed?

Dimples are the visible indentations in facial skin that are either permanently present on cheeks or chin, or appear temporarily while a person speaks or smiles. Dimples are one of the most dominant facial traits. Generally, dimples are present or appear on both cheeks, but sometime, a rare form of single dimple appears on one cheek. It is believed that dimples are genetically inherited. Studies have found that the parents having dimples give birth to children having dimples. Anatomically, dimples are caused by the facial muscle called zygomaticus major. Dimples are caused when your facial muscle - zygomaticus major, is shorter than normal; it pulls on your skin and forms the indentation in your facial skin. Cheek dimples are formed by the double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle.

How do you get chubby cheeks with dimple by facial exercise?

You can get chubby cheeks by including weight gaining foods in your everyday diet... In my opinion, there aren't any facial exercise to get dimples... Hope that this information is useful... Take care


What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one for no dimples?

This would depend on whether the allele for dimples is dominant or recessive. If the allele for dimples is dominant and the no dimples allele is recessive then the phenotype of the individual would be dimpled. If the allele for no dimples is dominant and the allele for no dimples is recessive then the dimples will not be expressed. If these alleles are codominant then the dimples will be expressed but not as much as in an individual who has both alleles for dimples.
