    For the sake of calculation, let us assume that the diseased parent is homozygous for the Huntington’s disease. Homozygous meaning that the diseased parent’s gene carries two copies of the same allele.

    Since only 1 of the 2 parents has the disease, then the probability of contracting it is ½.

    Answer: 1/2
