Dimples are thought to be a dominant trait, meaning that an individual only needs one copy of the gene for dimples to have them. If both parents have dimples, their children are likely to inherit dimples as well.

When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
Are smile dimples controlled by a recessive allele?
Nope, the alleles for smile dimples are actually dominant, not recessive.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples?
a example of a gene
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.
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.
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 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.

Are smile dimples controlled by a recessive allele?
Nope, the alleles for smile dimples are actually dominant, not recessive.
Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?
It is a recessive trait
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive

A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?
False. A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be either homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles) or heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive allele) for the trait. It cannot be homozygous recessive for a dominant trait.
