If you inherit one dominant allele for dimples (D) and one recessive allele for no dimples (d), your genotype would be Dd. However, since "Dd" isn't listed as an option, it seems like the options provided don't include the correct genotype.

To clarify:

  • A is not correct (DdDd suggests two dominant alleles and two recessive alleles).
  • B is not correct (dddd suggests all recessive alleles).
  • C is not correct (DD suggests two dominant alleles).

The correct genotype should be Dd. If you have to choose from the provided options, there isn't an accurate choice among A, B, or C.
