Explain why vestigial organs are not “left-overs” of evolution (3 points)

Biology
1 answer:
nasty-shy [4]4 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer</u>:

Vestigial organs are those organs that were present in the past ancestors but absent in their present generations. Vestigial organs are not leftover of evolution because they are evolved to perform a different function.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For example, an appendix is considered as a vestigial organ but it helps in storing good bacteria and plays a vital role in the immune system. These vestigial organs are the product of changing the environment and adaptation to the changing environment. Due to natural selection some specific traits have been passed down to generations which helped the animals to survive in those conditions. The other examples of vestigial organs are wisdom teeth coccyx, tonsils, several genes in the chromosomes and our hair.

Parland’s alligator population has been declining in recent years, primarily because of hunting. Alligators prey heavily on a sp
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

(C) The main predator of these fish is another species of fish on which alligators also prey.

Explanation:

The ecosystems are complex systems, and removing one species of them, always has a chain reaction and affects the population of the other species, be it in a positive or negative manner. In this case, the alligators prey upon fish, multiple different species. The alligators though have been removed from the ecosystem, thus the apex predator exists no more. This has opened up the top predator niche in the food chain in this particular ecosystem. The predatory fish species had no predators of its own, so its population increased, thus it needed more food, and that food was obtained by hunting the other fish species, resulting in a decline in the population of the other species of fish. Only when the carrying capacity is reached in the ecosystem for the predatory fish, the population of the other fish will stop declining.
