Answer:

50% percent are the chances of being a carrier for this disease.

Explanation:

There are 50% of the probabilities of being a carrier for this disease. Because it is an autonomic disease, so she has one gene that is unaffected and one gene that is affected, that is why she is only a carrier. If the two genes were affected she will be a carrier and also affected.
