Answer: The correct answer is-

Vestigial structure.

Vestigial structures are the parts/ organs present in a species, which were functional in their ancestors but serve no function in them that is they are not used by the present species.

Dogs possess reduced and nonfunctional digit on their paws ( particularly located on the inner side of the front leg)  called as a dewclaw. They serve no function in dogs.

Thus, dewclaw is an example of Vestigial structure

Dominant and recessive genes effect on phenotype
marysya [2.9K]

Dominant is the first gene variant in a phenotype from the two alleles of a gene and recessive has effect on the third allele of a phenotype.

Explanation:

The genetic phenomenon of masking of chromosome with one variant of allele or predominating  the impact of one gene on its chromosomal copy is Dominance.  In this phenomenon the first variant of gene is known as ‘dominant’ and the second one is ‘recessive’.  

This phenomenon is not inherited by phenotype, it has a relative effect on two alleles of a gene where one is dominant on other and the recessive is on third allele. Dominant allele has functional protein but recessive does not have it.

The big bang theory states that the universe was formed as the result of a huge explosion.   How did the universe begin, accordi
frez [133]
In simpler terms, the Big Bang theory says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today. In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius). The cosmos contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe got cooler. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
