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.
Are dimples a facial deformity?
dimples are actually a deformity its not a gene you can get from someone in your family
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.
Does sucking your cheeks everyday give you dimples?
No, there is no evidence of it. Dimples are natural indentations in your face, and they have nothing to do with sucking your cheeks. Some researchers believe they are a genetic characteristic, and if you possess the gene for dimples, you will have them. But other researchers disagree, saying they have not yet found which gene is responsible for dimples. But in either case, sucking in your cheeks probably would not give you permanent dimpling, since the skin is flexible and tends to bounce back.
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.

Will dimples go after you are 10?
As far as I know, dimples are genetic. I'm a teenager and I still have dimples.

How do you get rid of dimples?
There is no way to get rid of dimples other than plastic surgery. Dimples are very cute. Many people would like to have dimples.
What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples?
a example of a gene
