Answer:
Structures that are still present but currently serve little to no purpose
Explanation:
<em>Vestigial structures/organs are general defined as structures/organs that are present but poorly developed without any functional use in the present living organisms but thought to have been fully developed and functional in their ancestors.</em>
Fully developed and functional organs gradually become less developed and non-functional across generations as the environment keeps changing and organisms found lesser use for the organs. An example includes the <u>caudal vertebrae</u> found in man which is kind of useless but thought to have been fully developed and functional in the ancestors of man - the monkeys.
<u>Vestigial organs are often used as one of the morphological evidence of the evolution of living organisms.</u>
hyaline cartilage
The hyaline cartilage is the most common cartilage in the
body. It is a glass-like, translucent , bluish-white cartilage that can be
found on many joint surfaces, the respiratory tract and immature skeleton. It
is also present in the ribs, nose, larynx and trachea.
The cross of heterozygous
AaBb as parental phenotype led to formation of 1
6 phenotype of the offspring.This is because this is dihybrid form of inheritance .The probability of having
aabb offspring is
1/16 since there is only one aabb type of offspring phenotype out of
the
16. An illustration of how crossing is done is as per punnet square below
Circulatory and Respiratory systems working together to provide body with oxygen.
Answer:
They digest without the use of teeth.
Explanation:
The food trickles from the crop into the bird's stomach (proventriculus or gizzard) where digestive enzymes are added to the mix and physical grinding of the food occurs. The gizzard is why chickens do not need teeth.
