Answer: Vestigial organ

Explanation:

Vestigial organs are those organs which were functional in ancestral organisms belonging to the same species but due to the course of evolution of body forms they become non-functional. They can be found in the body either in the same form as used to appear in the ancestors or in rudimentary or degenerated forms.

The human appendix is one of the examples of vestigial organs. It looks like a narrow tube which forms a link with a colon of the large intestine. It was functional in human herbivorous ancestors as it used to help in digestion of variety of vegetables and other plant products. The change of diet along with due course of evolution caused the appendix to become useless. But the appendix physical form remained the same in humans.

4) If a dead organism is preserved as a fossil, which body tissues are most likely to survive? Why?
IrinaVladis [17]
The answer is hard tissue.

Usually, hard tissue, such as bones and teeth or exoskeleton is much more preserved than soft tissue (organs, skin, etc.). Fossils become fossils by a process of mineralization. Hard tissues are more mineralized during life than organs. So it is no surprise that hard tissues take part in the process of mineralization and is preserved in fossils, unlike soft tissues.

Why will many species of bird migrate to warmer climate during the winter
Doss [256]
Bird migrations began with the recession of the glaciers during the ice age. You will notice a great increase in insects in the spring time and early summer.The birds moved North to take advantage of this increase in the food supply that followed the warming in the spring and early summer. Their reproductive organs temporarily developed so they could lay eggs and raise a family. Look at the early flush of Night crawlers in the moist times of the early rains. By mid summer most of the insects have matured, mated and died. Their eggs have hatched and turned to larva and moved underground until next spring. The shortening of the days causes the reproductive functions to decrease and signals the birds that the food will soon become scarce. They move back to the area that makes it the easiest to find food and avoid freezing. which of course is the warmer climates nearer the equator. Not all birds move past the Tropics at approximately 30 degrees. Some like Chickadees may move down from Mi or Mn or Canada only as far south as Indiana. Some migrations may be quite short. For example from the mountains down to the plains. They don't generally reproduce in the warmer winter climes they migrate to. In the spring time they migrate along paths of the retreating glaciers. As the climate warms away from the tropics the birds follow the emerging insects etc to the birds selected breeding grounds.with increased insects and longer days to feed the hatching's. It is necesary to understand why they move to cooler climates in the summer to under stand why they move to eh warmer ones in the fall. As the days shorten the food supply dwindles and the babies have fledged. They move to warmer climates in winter to rest and refuel for the next years migration.
