Since "vestigial" means an organ that is atrophied or functionless from the process of evolution, out of the list of four structures that are given, the human appendix is that vestigial organ. All of the other organs, especially the "multiple cow stomachs" and the horns of a deer do play an important role to that animal's life.
vestigal structure because they are used for the same thing just look different.Answervestigal structure because they are used for the same thing just look different.
By definition, no. Spiders are classified along a certain evolutionary path that has 8 legs, no more, no less.Having said that, there may be spiders that have vestigal legs lost, almost lost, or converted to non-walking use through evolution.For that matter, there may be spiders whose mouth parts or other body parts are partly evolved into locomotion helpers.Contact your local arachnologist for details.These realities show how interesting evolution actually is.
The first horse was no bigger than a 30cm ruler it had paws instead of hooves and had a tail like a fox it then after millions of years evolved into the tarpan which was the first horse that looks the same as we have 2day!Hope this has helped you!

In humans the appendix is a vestigal organ and has no function that we are currently aware of.
vestigial structure-such as the human appendix, doesn't seem to have a function and may once have functioned in the body of an ancestor..:)
Whales and some other cetaceans have unusable leg bones as a vestigal structure.
The human organ in the right side of the abdominal cavity that starts with the letter "a" and has unknown use is the appendix. Although the exact function of the appendix is still debated among scientists, it is believed to have a role in the immune system and gut health.
yes, they have 2 pairs, one is a vestigal structure, the other is used for sensory functions :)
The human appendix is an example of a vestigial structure. It is a small pouch attached to the large intestine that served a digestive function in our evolutionary ancestors but is now believed to have little to no function in humans.
A vestigial structure is a physical characteristic of an organism that has lost its original function through the process of evolution. These structures are remnants of traits that were once useful to the organism's ancestors but are no longer needed in their present form. Examples include the human appendix and the wings of flightless birds.
Vestigial structures are anatomical structures of organisms in a species which are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.
