Question

23. One of the genes for baldness is located on the X chromosome and is recessive to the allele
for normal hair in the same gene. If bald male with a genotype XbY were to marry a
carrier female with a genotype XBXb, what would be the probability that the first born son
would be bald? What percentage of the females produced in this crossing would be
carriers?

Pattern baldness in men is a sex-influenced trait. It is not an X-linked trait like color blindness and hemophilia. Baldness is an autosomal trait and is apparently influenced by sex hormones after people reach 30 years of age or older.
