i know that but how exactly @xlldylanllx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dimples is an acquired trait, not something that happens over time

@xlldylanllx And you answered wrong. Not your fault though, nearly all genetic traits that get used as examples of Mendelian genetics in humans is 100% false, yet they still put them in text books. See here for dimples: http://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythdimples.html And read around on his website. He has a great review of the so-called mendelian traits in humans and why they are not real.
