Answers. Best Answer: I would say instinct is a largely inheritable and unalterable tendency of an organism to make a complex and specific response to environmental stimuli without involving reason. And your reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus not involving higher mental centers.
An instinct is a behavior that is acted out, not done by free will or choice. Animals react to things without thinking about it and the reaction they had was completely functional the first time they performed it. Animal instinct may be hereditarily based. This means that traits are passed on from generation to generation. As time goes on, traits that are more likely to help the species survive remain, and traits that do not may eventually disappear. This is in direct relation to the preservation of the animal. This is also related to natural selection.
