The movement is a called a reflex, which is a sudden muscle movement in response to a stimuli. The reflex you are describing is a reflex known as a plantar reflex, which is present in infants and children but goes away before adulthood (ideally).
Newton's first law of motion states that when there is no net external force, an object will remain at rest or travel with a constant velocity.
When an object is moving, there is a force of friction resisting the motion, and slowing it down. To maintain a constant velocity, a person must push with a force equal to that of friction, to counteract the frictional force.
Since the pushing force cancels the friction force out, there is no net external force, and so the object moves at a constant velocity

Answer:
Genotype Phenotype
SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4
Ss 2/4 Short hair 3/4
ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4
Explanation:
The resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:
1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.
2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.
1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.
But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:
Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
Long hair: 1/4
Answer:
There are different types of reflexes, and some of them can be controlled voluntarily due to cortical processing.
Explanation:
Even if there is an initial myotactic reflex of moving away from the heat, the cortical processing that is subject to learning makes you not let go of the pan. It should be noted that there are different types of reflexes, and not all postural reactions are automatic. The cerebral cortex influences voluntary postural adjustment movements. Such control is mainly performed by the brain stem, where ocurrs the modulation of motor neurons and spinal cord interneurons through the lateral descending (fine movements) and medial (posture and balance) downward pathways.
