Explanation:

So the mother in the problem must have gotten her alleles from her mother and father. Who donated what we are not sure. All we know is that she got one allele for dimples and one allele for no dimples. These are part of the mother's somatic cell DNA. This DNA is duplicated during interphase, right before meiosis occurs as the mother begins to form her gametes, however.
