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?

The child has a 50% chance of inheriting dimples. This is because dimples are a dominant trait, so if one parent is heterozygous for dimples, they will have one dominant allele for dimples to pass on to their child. The child would need to inherit this dominant allele from the heterozygous parent in order to express the trait.


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.


Are dimples a facial deformity?

No, dimples are not considered a facial deformity. Dimples are a genetic trait that results in small indentations on the cheeks when a person smiles. They are considered a desirable feature by many people and are not associated with any health issues.


Is it normal to have two dimples on one cheek?

Youu get dimples before youu were ever born. They are from the fathers penis, it means your parents were sexually active even while youu were still in the womb && his penis poked both sides of the face && bam.! Dimples.(; bahahahaha


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.

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.

If there are three times as many students who have dimples as there are students without dimples what can you infer about the trait for dimples?

If there are three times as many students with dimples as there are without dimples, it suggests that the trait for dimples may be dominant in this population. This dominance could indicate that a greater proportion of the gene pool carries the allele for dimples. Consequently, the presence of dimples is more common than the absence of them among these students.
