Answer:

Yes, you inherit traits from both parents.

Step-by-step explanation:

With time, Huntington's disease impairs several areas of the brain's functionality. It is something that a person inherits from their parents. It frequently becomes deadly after up to 20 years of progressively worsening symptoms.
