B)the frequency of heterozygous recessive genotype
C)the mutation rate in the population
D)the size of the sample population

The frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype allows us to calculate the allele frequencies in the population. From these, we can determine the frequencies of the homozygous dominant and heterozygous genotypes using the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
