They provide evidence of genes coding for structures that are present not because they are useful, but because they were once useful to an ancestor. 

<span>One example is the plantaris muscle. This is a long, thin muscle in the human foot and calf that serves no significanl purpose in humans ... in fact, it is regularly removed by doctors harvesting muscle tissue to use in reconstructive heart surgery, because its removal leaves no loss of function in walking or balance. </span>

<span>However this same muscle is found more fully developed in the feet and calves of other primates. It is the muscle used for grasping with the feet.</span>

A species of fly has two alleles for the length of their legs. The allele for long legs is dominant and is represented by p. The
ankoles [38]
The answer is 0.43


To calculate p we will use one of two formulas of the <span>Hardy-Weinberg principle:
</span>

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where:

p - the frequency of the allele for long legs which is a dominant trait.
q - the frequency of the allele for short legs which is a recessive trait.

p² - the frequency of dominant homozygote (with long legs)

2pq - the frequency of heterozygote (with long legs)

q² - the frequency of recessive homozygote (with short legs)


So, 33 of 100 organisms have short legs. The frequency of recessive homozygote is represented by q²:

q² = 33/100 = 0.33

⇒ q = √0.33 = 0.57


Using the formula:

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.57 = 0.43


Therefore, p = 0.43
