Having dimples is an example of a phenotypic trait, which is a physical characteristic that is observable and influenced by genetics. Dimples are a result of specific facial muscles forming a dent in the skin, and the presence of dimples can be determined by the combination of genes inherited from parents.
While the president is known for having a very photogenic smile, he does not seem to have dimples.

There is a 50% chance of a child having dimples if one parent has them and a 75% chance if the two parents have them. A child can also have them as the result of a genetic mutation even if neither parent has dimples.
Yes, it is possible for someone to have dimples even if their parents do not have them. Dimples are a genetic trait, but they can also occur due to variations in facial muscle structure. This means that a person could inherit dimples from a distant relative or develop them spontaneously.
Discreet data.
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.

You can't really MAKE dimples. Dimples are completely genetic.
Simple. Dimples.
