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 of the following is a major determinant of the distribution pattern of a population?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a.) rate of population growth

Explanation:

The population growth rate determines how a population will be distributed in a region. Populations with a high growth rate need to occupy more spaces, in addition to needing to consume a greater volume of natural resources. As the population grows, the distribution in the region becomes more intense, the opposite also happens. When the population growth rate indicates that the population is decreasing it means that this population will need less space and therefore, its geographic distribution will be smaller, as well as its impact on the region.

Suppose you have an X ray of an arm, which is taken because the doctor suspects a bone is broken. You also have a drawing showin
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

An X-ray is done to diagnose the position of bones in the body whether its broken or not or in right place or not.

An X-ray machine is turned on to provide a visual of the bones showing bone condition. When the machine is turned on, X-ray travel through the body tissues, and due to the presence of calcium in bones, they absorb more X-rays, thus bones appear white against the black background of a radiograph.

These white bones on the radiograph will show the position of bones whether it's broken or not.

So, both the visuals that is X-ray and drawing showing visuals (the bones appear white) contribute valuable data to the given situation.
