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.

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 percentage of the American population have dimples?
Around 20% of the American population is estimated to have dimples. Dimples are caused by a genetic trait that causes certain muscles to be shorter than usual, creating a visible indentation when a person smiles.
