Huntington's disease is caused by a single dominant allele. It is a lethal disease, yet it persists in the human population. Which of the following statements best describes why?

B.  Huntington's disease can present symptoms so mild that they appear to lack dominant expression of the allele in some individuals; in those cases, the allele is passed on to the offspring. C.  While lethal to a parent, Huntington's disease will not be lethal to the offspring since it can skip a generation. D.  Huntington's disease presents symptoms in mid-life, after most people have already had offspring. E.  Even though Huntington's disease is lethal, it improves chances for reproduction before the person dies.
