Which feature of the face is a trait passed on from parents to children?
dimples
Are dimples a recessive or dominant trait?
dominant :)
Which describes a Mendelian trait?
humans either have straight thumbs or bent thumbs
What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples?
a example of a gene
Can someone get dimples even though the parents don't have them?
Not necessarily, dimples are a dominant gene and if neither you nor your spouse passed it on, the baby will not have dimples. The chance of your child not having dimples is probably 1/4. However, if BOTH your parents have dimples, it is possible there will be a 100% chance of the baby having dimples. It's complicated. Basically there is a three fourths chance of 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 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.

Are dimples autosomal or sex linked?
They are autosomal because it is a trait a phenotype.
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.
What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples?

What is the percentage of dimples in the world?
Dimples are mostly located on the cheeks. They are common genetic trait. Most are caused by a birth defect, which just goes to show that not all "malformations" are actually bad. In fact, in many cultures, dimpled cheeks are considered attractive.
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/

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.
