Hello there!

These structures are called Vestigial Structures.

The Vestigial Structures are those whose original function was lost during evolution. In humans, these structures are the appendix, the coccyx, the wisdom teeth and others. 

In animals, examples of vestigial structures are the wings of flightless birds, hind leg bones on whales and pythons and eyes in blind fishes. Those vestigial structures help scientists study the evolution of some species.

The dominant allele is D and causes dimples and the recessive allele is d and causes no dimples. How would a geneticist describe
SSSSS [86.1K]

A geneticist describes the phenotype of an individual with the alleles dd as homo-zygous recessive. In heterozygous individuals, it is masked by the dominant allele.

<h3>Dominant and recessive alleles</h3>

In diploid organisms, an individual receives two gene forms or 'alleles' for the same gene locus.

An individual is heterozygous when receives two different alleles for the same gene locus, whereas an individual is homo-zygous when receives the same alleles for a gene locus.

In cases of complete dominance, the dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
