Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on how common the allele is, relative to other alleles, whether it is inherited from the mother or father, which chromosome it is on, and whether the allele determines the phenotype.
In a population with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 75% of individuals have a dominant allele and 25% have a recessive allele. The proportion of individuals that will be homozygous recessive is 0.0625. The proportion of individuals that will be homozygous dominant is 0.5625. The proportion of individuals that will be heterozygous is 0.375.
