Functional proteins are a complex mixture of biologically active protein which help to support and maintain normal immune functions. Examples of functional proteins are immunoglobulins and avidin. 
Structural proteins are fibrous proteins which are part of the structures found in the living cells. Examples of structural proteins are keratin and collagen.
The major difference between these two types of protein is that structural proteins are used as structures while functional proteins perform specific active functions in the cells. Also, structural proteins are usually dominated by two dimensional structure while the functional proteins have three dimensional structures.

If the woman has children with a person who is Hh, you expect 75% oval heads and 25% square heads with the genotypes HH, Hh, and hh. If she has children with some who is hh, you’d expect 50% oval, 50%square with genotype Hh and hh. To solve, use punnet squares!
