A certain form of color blindness in humans is sex-linked. Assumethat 8% of the males in a population are color blind. Whatpercentage of the females in this population are expected to becolor blind?

The answer is 0.64% and I'm pretty sure we have to use theHardy-Weinberg equation. Please show all the work. Thank you.

Color blindness in humans is an X-linked recessive trait. Approximately 10% of the men in a particular population are color-blind. Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

If mating is random for the color-blind locus, what is the frequency of the color-blind allele in this population? (2 points)

B. What proportion of the women in this population is expected to be color-blind? (2 points)

C. What proportion of the women in the population is expected to be heterozygous carriers of the color-blind allele? (2 points)

D. What proportion of the males will be color-blind in 20 generations? (2 points)
