“Snakes have tiny hind legs bones, indicating that they likely descended from lizards.” Is the best choice. Vestigial structures are body parts that have no use for the organism as it has evolved and did not need it.

Answer:

Snakes have tiny hind leg bones, indicating that they likely descended from lizards.

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are the structures in an organism which are no longer in use. In past these vestigial structures performed some important functions in those organisms but gradually due to evolution now they have become non functional in their body. Lizards and snakes both are reptiles but lizards have a functional hind limb which helps them in crawling, snakes have been evolved from lizards but in order to move they creep rather than crawling so their hind limb does not serve any function in movement. Hind limbs are present in their body as a vestigial organ.

Briefly tell about the cells life cycle

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Cell cycle is the name we give the process through which cells replicate and make two new cells. Cell cycle has different stages called G1, S, G2, and M. G1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. To do this, it then moves into the S phase where the cell copies all the DNA. So, S stands for DNA synthesis. After the DNA is copied and there's a complete extra set of all the genetic material, the cell moves into the G2 stage, where it organizes and condenses the genetic material, or starts to condense the genetic material, and prepares to divide. The next stage is M. M stands for mitosis. This is where the cell actually partitions the two copies of the genetic material into the two daughter cells. After M phase completes, cell division occurs and two cells are left, and the cell cycle can begin again.
