What a vestigial structure? How does it support evolution?

Biology

atroni [7]3 years ago
5 0
A vestigial structure is a structure that kind-of just "hangs out" in our bodies. We don't really need it, yet it is there. So, why is it there??? We probably needed it, for example, when we needed to digest plants. (Appendix) Some say that the appendix was used for digesting plants and berries, but it is really just speculation. We "evolved" to not need the appendix. 
Here are some other vestigial examples: wisdom teeth, tail bone, pelvic bone in a snake, and wings on a flightless bird. 
I hope this helped, if it did not let me know!!
I hope you have a fantastical day!!!XD

help I can't think of any for this question "State 5 different ways animals and plants interact in an ecosystem."
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Plants and animals benefit each other as members of food chains and ecosystems. For instance, flowering plants rely on bees and hummingbirds to pollinate them, while animals eat plants and sometimes make homes in them. When animals die and decompose, they enrich the soil with nitrates that stimulate plant growth. I know it's not 5, but I hope it helped.
