Atavistic structures are structures that appear on a living thing, but are not normal for its species. One of those would be a whale born with hind legs. Another would be a human born with a short tail-like structure.
Bones of whale ancestors showed that whales had hip bones along with legs and hind feet.
There is no answer for this question because it does not make any sense.

They are examples of vestigial structures: structures that appear to be useless but once most probably had a function

Yes, in fact all animals that do not have hind legs today did have hind legs thousands- millions of years ago. It is believed that humans will someday no longer have hind legs, the way evolution is going scientists predict that snakes and whales and legless ducks will one day grow legs whereas, humans will not. Leaving us at the bottom of the food chain once again.
Cetaceans are large aquatic carnivorous mammals with fin-like forelimbs, and no hind limbs, like: whales, dolphins, porpoises, and narwhals!
Fossils of prokaryotes have been found in rocks about 3.5 billion years of age and this data fits with the molecular and cellular evidence that prokaryotes are the oldest form of life! An example would be that whales long ago had hind leg bones, but as they evolved, whales began living without hind limbs.
The main structures of the brain are the cerebrum (the fore brain), the cerebellum (the hind brain), the brain stem.
Yes they do. They are detached from the vertebral column and float free though.
