atroni [7]4 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!!

Ne4ueva [31]

Fibroblasts, cells found in the connective tissues of the body, make up the hypodermis. These produce collagen proteins, which aid in preserving the body's structural foundation.

  • The body's bottom layer of skin is called the hypodermis. It serves a variety of crucial roles, including energy storage, tying the muscles and bones beneath the skin's dermis layer to one another, keeping the body warm in a variety of temperatures, and guarding against injury-related harm.
  • The hypodermis shrinks with ageing, the skin begins to sag, and the skin is more susceptible to damage and injury.

Answer:

C. Radioactive dating

I know this because radioactive dating is done by examining the atomic particles found in an object. The atomic particles decay over time at a predictable rate. Scientists are able to measure the rate of decay to establish the age of the fossil, organism, and/or material.

Answer:

Well you have to tell the child that genetics is the study of how traits(characters) are passed on from parent to offspring. Such traits include height, weight, facial features etc.

Chromosomes are the cells that carry those traits in the body. Human beings usually have 46 chromosomes but during reproduction, the chromosomes are halved to give 23 which is in its haploid state so that each parent gives 23 chromosomes each to get 46 chromosomes which is the standard number of chromosomes for humans and animals.

Haploid means a single set of these chromosomes donated by the parent during reproduction while the 46 chromosomes which is achieved after reproduction is referred to as Diploid which means 2 set of the chromosomes from both parents.
