It is believed that dimples are a trait that is inherited. They are considered to be a dominant genetic trait. This means that only one copy of the altered gene from each cell is enough to cause dimples.
There are people who have dimples in both checks, while others only have dimples in one cheek.
Although fingerprints are different for each person, it is believed that the fingerprints between the child and the father are very similar.
Just like we have said in the beginning, dominant and recessive genes are really important when it comes to the color of a child’s eyes. It is believed that light-colored eyes are recessive, while darker-colored eyes are dominant. The child can have the eyes of the father, if they are the dominant color between the parents.

my grandfather on my mother's side was called "Black Tom Murphy" ...because of his black hair. I am 86 and just started to have some gray in my black hair!!!!
I THINK THIS INFORMATION WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL & INTERESTING.
I like it because I feel connected to my loved ones and that feels good even though they are gone,
My grandmother once found a picture of what she though was my dad and I and asked when it was taken. I looked at the pic but didn't recognize it. I turned it over and it was taken in 1971, 7 years before I was even born. The picture was of my mom and dad, and that's the day I realized I look exactly like my mother.
Very interesting about the telomeres. I was thirty one years old and always got carded. According to some people I looked eighteen or twenty.
My teeth are exactly like my mother’s. Every one is twisted, crowded and turned just like hers. Interesting article.
As far as for the teeth i got the space from my Mother's side. Not my Dad's.
Dear ladies and Gentlemen,
You did NOT cover two conditions that I did inherit from my ancestors, and you could have mentioned them. One is partial color blindness, which I didn't realize that I had, but when I took an Army Physical in 1970, I was informed that I have Red-Green color blindness, which I probably got from my mother's side. Another trait that I know that I received from my mother's side is an Essential Tremor. My mother's father had a fairly severe case of this. He was as farmer, in the country, outside of Buffalo, NY. in the early 1900s. My sister also inherited this trait. My mother was one of four children (2 boys, 2 girls). All were married and had children, but my sister and I were the only lucky ones to have this trait appear. I am trying to find out if anyone else on my grandfather's side exhibited this trait. No success so far.
