It depends. There are 2 sections of the liver that can be used for donation, the left lobe (40% of the liver) and the right lobe (60%). In a cadaver/deceased donor the doctors will usually give an adult transplant patient the whole liver. There have been cases where the left lobe, the smaller side, of a cadaver donor has been given to a child recipient and the right lobe went to an adult. There is also the case of living liver donation where a living person donates a section of their liver to a recipient. If the recipient is a child then the left lobe is donated, if the recipient is an adult it is the right lobe that is donated. For the living donor, their donated section of liver will grow back in about 3-8 weeks.

My uncle's liver is gone and they want give him a transplant What is going to happen?
He will go on a waiting list for a cadaver donor liver. He will get the transplant and live for his expected life-span. If no cadaver liver donor is available, they will treat him symptomatically and try to find a living donor among relatives who are compatible. If none is found, his long-term prognosis is not good. Half a liver from a living donor will regenerate and both the donor and the recipient will have an entire liver after a few months.
