If a creatures body is one long, tubular muscle, the only form of self-propulsion is twisting the body back and forth. Snakes move in a wavy motion because they have to.

What is the name of the motion snakes make?

The motion that snakes make is called "undulation." This involves a side-to-side movement of their bodies, allowing them to push against the ground or water for propulsion. Additionally, snakes can also employ other forms of locomotion, such as rectilinear motion, concertina motion, and sidewinding, depending on their environment and circumstances.

Do snakes need muscles to move?

Snakes have four ways of moving around. Since they don't have legs they use their muscles and their scales to do the "walking".Concertina method: this is when snakes bunch themselves up and then throw themselves forward.Serpentine method: This motion is what most people think of when they think of snakes. Snakes will push off of any bump or other surface, rocks, trees, etc., to get going. They move in a wavy motion. They wouldn't be able to move over slick surfaces like glass at all.Sidewinding: This is a difficult motion to describe but it is often used by snakes to move on loose or slippery surfaces like sand or mud. The snake appears to throw its head forward and the rest of its body follows while the head is thrown forward again.Rectilinear Method: This is a slow, creeping, straight movement. The snake uses some of the wide scales on its belly to grip the ground while pushing forward with the others.Source: Kidzone

What does a cross of a wavy haired person with a wavy haired person look like on a Punnet square?

When crossing two wavy-haired individuals, represented by the alleles W (wavy) and w (straight), a Punnett square would show the possible genotypes of their offspring. The potential combinations would be WW (wavy), Ww (wavy), and ww (straight). Specifically, the Punnett square would yield a 1:2:1 ratio, with 75% of the offspring expected to have wavy hair (either WW or Ww) and 25% with straight hair (ww).
