CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system. The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is very complex but to answer your question when you touch a hot stove sensory neurons (PNS) send a message to the brain (CNS) and the brain process that the hand is being injured and reacts by sending motor neurons (PNS) to tell the hand to pull away.

The woman’s genotype is Hh because her father has the genotype hh. If the woman has children with a person who’s genotype is HH, you see 100% oval heads, you’d have genotype HH and Hh. 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!
