This is Btec Applied Science Unit 11 Assignment C (Human inheritance and predicting genetic traits) which was awarded a distinction. This is an example of a Distinction level assignment, and you may use it as a guide to help you achieve a distinction and finish this assignment.
Q1,
The male has one dominant S and one recessive S in this disease
inheritance since he is just a carrier instead of a sufferer, as well as
the same is the case for his partner.
The S stands for dominant and it does not carry the disease and does
not affect them.
The s stands for recessive it is the affected one and contain the
disease (sickle cell disease).
Any child with ss will suffer from this disease and Any child with s will
carry the disease but not going to suffer from it.

PUNNET SQUARE
RATIO OF THE CHILDREN:
50% is the carrier of the disease the ratio is 2:4
25% with not having the disease the ratio is 1:4
25% is a sufferer of the disease the ratio is 1:4
Only 1 of the 4 children is free from the disease and is not a carrier.

PUNNET SQUARE
All of them are heterozygous. Two out of the 16 results are either
dominant or recessive. The first result is double purple dominant P
and hairy double dominant H, and the last result is double recessive
p and double recessive h. Rest results are mixture of dominant and
recessive.
