Human tailbone is an example of what?
I believe this sort of structure is called a vestigial structure (a left over remnant). The appendix is another vestigial organ.
What is vestigial strucutures?
A structure in an organism that serves little to no use. Vestigial structures are degenerated and range from slightly harmful to useless to slightly useful. They are remnants of an organism's evolutionary past.
What are some examples of vestigial organs?
The appendix is the best example of a vestigial organ.
What fact is the basis for using the fossil record as evidence that evolution has taken place?
fossils show the bone structure of ancient animals. you can see remarkable similarities between them and animals today. For example, the bone structure of many dinosaurs were very similar to that of birds today. For humans we found a bunch of steps on our evolution that is very good evidence of it.
What is direct evidence of evolution?
direct evidence is the observation of evolution as it occurs. We have discovered novel genes conferring an advantage in an environment in which the ancestral population lacked those genes entirely. One example is flavobacterium that evolved nylonase enzymes. Antibiotic resistance is another example.

Which of the following is an example of a vestigial structure?

What is a example of embryological evidence?
Rudimentary body parts, those that are smaller and simpler in structure than corresponding parts in the ancestral species, are called vestigial organs. They are usually degenerated or underdeveloped. Vestigial organs are the most common evidence.chacha(:
What is a vestigial structure and what organ in the human body is one?
A vestigial structure is one that no longer appears to service a purpose in maintaining homeostasis. An example is the vermiform appendix.
Any structure that is reduced in function in a living organism but may have been used in an ancestor is known as a vestigial structure?
vestigial organ is for example"appendix"in human beings.another example is the"tail bone"in human beings.
A structure remaining in an animal but with no use at all is called?
A structure within an animal, but is not used and has no purpose, is known as a vestigial structure. For example, in humans, there is a small bone at the very end of the coccyx, which is purposeless. It is known as the "vestigial tail."
Certain flightless beetles have wings that have no function The wings are an example of which type of structure?
vestigial structures
What does vestigial structure describe?
They may have had an important function in the past.
Which is an example of evidence of evolution based on comparative biochemistry?
The fact that sheep insulin can be substituted for human insulin is an example of evidence of evolution based on comparative biochemistry. Insulin is a peptide hormone.
