Answer:

Modern theory of evolution explains that "organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits". Hence this change suggests the loss of vestigial organs.

Explanation:

  • Vestigial organ are those which do not have any function but is present in our body.
  • According to the modern theory the genetic and physical appearance changes along with the adaptation in environment by the organism.
  • So if the organ looses its function in order to sustain and adopt in the changing environment then they become vestigial and slowly disappear.
  • This is the common example for the Lamarck's theory of "use and disuse".

natka813 [3]
The answer is False.

Although, there are some evidence that suggests that species from million years ago possessed both gills and lungs. For example is the Acanthostega Gunnari, one of the oldest species discovered with four limbs. The creature is a salamander-like creature found in Greenland hundreds of million years ago. Although the specie can walk on land but the finding characterized the creature primarily as a fish.
