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.
What else can I help you with?
Why does my dimples sometimes appear sometimes don't?
Your dimples will appear depening on the position that you have your face in. Most dimples tend to show when people are smiling because their face is tighter.
Does everyone have to have a dimple on their face?
Yes, usually a person will have a quantity of two dimples. The dimples are primarily located on the polar occupalis region of the face. The evolutionary purpose of dimples is to make the person look younger (which is a sign of asymmetric fertility.)
What muscles in the face affect dimples?
Specifically, the presence of a double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle may explain the formation of cheek dimples
What does it mean when you call someone dimples?
It usually means tha person beinq called "Dimples"Has dimples :) It's jus a cute nickname!
Where are dimples located?
Dimples can be located anywhere along the cheek bone.
Can you get dimples by using a pen?
No, you cannot get dimples by using a pen. Dimples are a genetic trait caused by variations in the structure of facial muscles and skin. While pressing a pen against your skin might temporarily create an indentation, it won't lead to the permanent formation of dimples. Dimples are typically formed naturally at birth or develop over time due to genetic factors.
How are back dimples formed and what factors contribute to their appearance on the body?
Back dimples, also known as "dimples of Venus," are formed by a genetic trait where the pelvis bones are positioned in a way that creates a visible indentation on the lower back. Factors that contribute to their appearance include genetics, body fat percentage, and muscle tone in the lower back area.
Can a dimple develop in later life?
Dimples are muscledeformitiesin your face. When you grow, your muscles change and can get deformities too. This happened in my experience I got two dimples and I\ve never had any.
How can you remove dimples of oily face?
So far as I know, there is no natural way to do it, though plastic surgery could - but why would you want to? The are almost always considered an attractive feature.
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.
