What a vestigial structure? How does it support evolution?

Biology

atroni [7]3 years ago

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

Which type of volcanoes would be the least explosive
s2008m [1.1K]

Eruptions at shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent , otherwise they are characterized by low-explosivity fountaining that forms cinder cones and spatter cones at the vent, however, 90% of the volcano is lava rather than pyroclastic material.

The correct answer is the last option.

The first option (unable to cause climate change) is incorrect because these gases do effect the atmospheric temperatures by increasing them.
The second option is incorrect because while these gases do cause more water vapor to condense, they result in acid rain (not wetter climates).

Are humans affected by natural selection?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Yes! A recent example could be babies that do not survive child birth for a certain reason, are obviously unable to pass on whatever caused them to die in the first place.
Also, once humans started to domesticate cows and drink their milk (I'm not sure why humans drink a cow's milk) their bodies evolved to continue making the enzyme to digest milk even after they were weaned off their mothers milk. Many people of Asian descend do not have this enzyme, since their culture did/does not raise as much dairy product.
