Biology

nasty-shy [4]3 years ago

<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.

Answer:

the answer would be A

Explanation:

Animal cells are oval and egg shaped so we can cancel out c and d

A is the correct answer because we can see green dots within the structure. Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll.
