What is a characterisic like eye color?
hair, nose, ears, forehead, or inherited dimples.
How many people in the US have dimples?
It is estimated that around 20-30% of the population have dimples in the United States. Dimples are a genetic trait and can be inherited from one or both parents.
What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples?
a example of a gene
Can non-dimpled parents children have dimples?
It does not appear to be the case. Dimples are a genetically inherited trait, but as with all things in nature, there are exceptions to every rule. Check out this link for further info http://www.thegeminigeek.com/what-causes-dimples/
Is there a relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether that trait is dominant or recessive?
Some observable traits in humans are dimples, earlobes, tongue-rolling, cleft chin, hairline, and freckles. The relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether the trait is dominant or recessive because in inherited human traits, the offspring can either have dimples or no dimples.
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.
What is the phenotype of an individual with one alleles for dimples and one for one 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.
What nicknames did Dimples Cooper go by?
Dimples Cooper went by Dimples.
You want dimples how do you get them?
You can't really MAKE dimples. Dimples are completely genetic.
What is the scientific name for dimples?
Simple. Dimples.
What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimple and one allele 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.
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.
