We can use genetic probability here to determine the chance of producing a gamete that has an allele for dimples. The matrix of probability is shown below where capital letters are attributed to the woman and small ones is that of men. We can see then that the probability of having an allele for dimples is 3/4 having the only chance of not having one is Bb.
