Dominant traits/recessive traits


Pattern baldness in humans is controlled by a single autosomal locus with two alleles (B and B'), but pattern baldness is a sex-influenced phenotype:  baldness is dominant in males (BB and BB' males become bald), but recessive in females (only BB females become bald).  if a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this locus and 4% of the women in the population become bald,

1) what percentage of the men are bald?
2) what percentage of the nonbald women could give a gene for baldness to their sons?
3) what percentage of all possible marriages are expected to produce daughters who develop baldness?  (assume that the marriages are not influenced by the baldness of the individuals)

*please explain answers as simply as possible, thank you

hardy Weinberg Problem - Assume that left-handedness is a recessive trait controlled by one pair of dominant-recessive alleles. If 625 of 2,500 individuals in a sample of a population is left-handed, and if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many individuals in the entire population of 10,000 would be predicted to be heterozygous for the trait?
hardy Weinberg Problem - In a population of field mice, 3 phenotypes: black, brown, and white are observed. Upon investigating, you discover that 2 alleles cause the 3 phenotypes (alleles B and B' are co-dominant). The allele for black coat color is B and the allele for white coat color is B'. Thus, individuals with the genotype BB are black, B'B' are white, and BB' are brown. Would you concl...
hardy Weinberg Problem - In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 16% of the population shows a recessive trait. What is the frequency of the dominant allele (p) in the population?
