Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?

Biology
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
7 0
Vestigial structures are considered evidence since scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are no longer needed. They do not impair the organisms in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. Vestigial structures are anatomical features that no longer seems to have a function or purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Examples are wisdom teeth, the muscles of the ear, the appendix, the tail bone among others in human.

Based on the assumptions described in the introduction why might the mark and recapture method of population estimation be more
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

In ecology, the mark and recapture method is utilized to predict the population size of the animals. In the method, the part of the population is caught, marked, and then discharged. Afterward another part is caught, and the number of marked organisms within the sample is measured.  

The mark and recapture method of predicting the population is more precise in the setting of lakes as a lake is a fairly steady environment, while the streams and rivers are in motion, and thus the population is much more dynamic.
