Answer 2

If bald is recessive, then each parent will need at least one bald allele (h).

Answer 3

In some types of baldness (there are so many reason for baldness), the gene (andorgen receptor gene) could be a reason for baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia). The above said gene position is on X chromosome. In the case of human male the condition is XY while for female it is XX. So if a baldness gene is present is X, for male it is mostly result in baldness but for female need a condition which require both X genes should carry baldness gene (may be recessive) for result in baldness. It is very rare to happen in females.. but there are ..chances
