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>

**Brainiest if correct**
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The term “reptile” is derived (Made) from a Latin word meaning “creeping animals.” These animals include snakes, lizards, crocodiles, alligators, turtles, geckos, and chameleons, with lizards and snakes species making up the majority of all reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals which means they are unable to regulate their own body temperature. Reptiles are Oviparous (Egg laying). Reptiles also have chains of bony elements from the tail to the head. The bony endoskeleton consists of cranium or skull, appendages, and limb girdles. The endoskeleton protects the inner tissue and also aids in body movement. Skeletons differ from one species to another, with crocodiles having some of the largest body structures in this class.
