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

Biology
1 answer:
nasty-shy [4]3 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.

When an orginism is repredused by budding, how does the new organism start growing?
Finger [1]
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where the new organism (offspring) grows as an outgrowth from the body of the parent. Here, the new individual starts growing as a small body on one side of the parent organism and continues growing in size while still attached to the parent.

Early on, it appears as part of the parent given that it does not detach until it has grown further. Ultimately, the new individual, which resembles the parent, detaches and becomes an independent organism.

The process of becoming physiologically adjusted to a high elevation is called _____.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

C. Acclimatization

Explanation:

I think of "acclimatization" as acclimating to a new environment, also it's clearly derived from acclimating. It's just another way to say adjusting to the environment, and isn't necessarily restricted to high elevations. It could also be temperature, or humidity. I hope this helped!

Andrej [43]
0% because if straight hairline is recessive that means it would need 2. Since, Widows peak seems to be dominant, then there would need to be at least 1 dominant. But, there are both people that have recessive traits.
