One important example is the cytochrome c gene that has been present in living forms since the carboniferous period, about 359.2 to 299 million years ago, according to paleontological discoveries in organisms that have been living since that geological period. Many genetic screening efforts of genealogical correspondence among species is based on the cytochrome c gene.

What does vestigial mean and give one example?
The word 'vestigial' means not fully developed in mature animals Vestigial is a small remnant of something that was once much larger.
Is not an example of a vestigial structure?
A vestigial structure is an anatomical feature that has lost most or all of its original function through evolution. An example of something that is not a vestigial structure would be the wings of birds, which are fully functional and essential for flight. In contrast, vestigial structures, like the human appendix, serve little to no purpose in the current species.
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.
What is the term for body parts that are reduced in size with no apparent function?
Body parts that are reduced in size with no apparent function would be vestigial limbs. Evolution could be at the root of the development of vestigial limbs. A good example would be a T-Rex with his tiny arms.

Human tailbone is an example of what?
The human tailbone, also known as the coccyx, is an example of a vestigial structure. It is a remnant of our evolutionary past when our distant ancestors had tails. Today, the coccyx serves no functional purpose in humans but is a small bone at the end of the spine.
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.
