Match the vestigal organs to their probable use in other organs

Ans.

Vestigial organs or structures are those structures that are no longer functional in current organisms, but were functional in their ancestral organisms. Examples of vestigial organs include appendix, hairs, and tailbone in humans.

-Tailbone in humans is a vestigial structure as humans do not have tails. Tailbones are functional in monkeys as they have long tails, which they used for balancing. Hence, 'tailbone in humans' correctly matches with 'balancing in monkeys.'

-Eyeballs in cavefish are vestigial organs as eyeballs are non-functional in cavefish. Cavefishes cannot see as they lost their sights during evolution as it is not necessary since they live in dark caves. Eyeballs are functional in whales as they provide eyesight to them. Hence, 'eyeballs in cavefish' correctly matches with 'sight in whales.'

-Pelvis bones in whales are vestigial structures as there is no role of these bones in whales. Pelvic bones are functional in frogs, as their limbs are attached to the body with the help of pelvic bones. Hence, 'pelvic bones in whales' correctly matches with 'attachment point for limbs in frogs.'

I believe it should match as the following...

sight in whales -----> eyeballs in cavefish

balance in monkeys -----> tailbone in humans

attachment point for limbs in frogs -----> pelvis bone in whales

Evolution Due to environmental factors, It may not look it, but, needles are leaves, they collect solar radiation to produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis, however, needles are, some would say, evolutionary superior to leaves. Needles themselves hold in more water due to their dense wax coating, they are very difficult for insects and other organisms to eat, one because of their structure, and two because of their acidity, they can catch sunlight all year long due to their winter resilience( they don't fall, during the winter), and they have less surface area for wind to catch, which leaves them better protected from wind than most deciduous trees, however the surface area can also pose a larger problem for less surface area means less sunlight interception, therefore more are needed to compete against regular leaves. But.. I Digress... Plant needles are 'PROBABLY' initially the result of evolution of narrow leaves due to climate or environmental factors. 

Sry its so long got carried away! Hope this helps xD
