If Huntington's disease is due to a dominant trait, shouldn't three-fourths of the population have Huntington's while one-fourth has the normal phenotype?

In large populations, Mendelian ratios are ineffective.

Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature.

Natural selection is eliminating Huntington’s disease.

Hey there,

Not really. If the is a Dad and a Mom who makes a baby, and they don't have the "Huntington's Disease", Most likely there offspring will not have the Disease.

Your correct answer would be
\boxed{Natural \ selection \ is \ eliminating \ Huntington’s \ disease.}
