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), butrecessive in females (only BB females become bald). If a populationis in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for this locus and 4% of the womenin the population become bald,

a) what percentage of the men are bald?

b) what percentage of the nonbald women could give a gene forbaldness to their sons?

c) what percentage of all possible marriages are expected toproduce daughters who develop baldness? (assume that the marriagesare not influenced by the baldness of the individuals)
