Being a well-rounded geneticist, you also maintain a colony of chickens. In a cross between a female chicken from a true-breeding strain with three toes per foot and a male from a true-breeding strain with seven toes per foot, all of the F1 progeny have five toes per foot.

Based on the information that toe counts should appear in the F2 generation and at what frequencies?

Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random. What mutation rate would be required to maintain the observed incidence of the disease in the population if the disease is dominant?
