Question

Give four examples of vestigial organs in humans?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many vestigial organs found in humans some of them are the vermiform appendix, the semolina fold in the corner of our tail bone, wisdom teeth, and our abs muscles.

Explanation:

• Vestigial organs are the cell tissue or organ which we are functioning in our ancestors, but now in the present they are not able to function.
• Vestigial organs are evidence of evolution. This structure can arise due to gene mutation which causes a change in the proteins and amino acids.
• There are nearly 100 vestigial organs found in the human being.
• Vestigial organs during the process of evolution haves lost all the abilities to functioning a given species.
• The semilunar is a small fold of tissue inside the  corner of the eye. It is a vestigial organs. It is functional in only fish that fishes can see inside the  water with there open eyes. This suggests that our ancestors would be fishs too.

Answer 2

Answer:

Vestigial organs are bodily tissues, organs, or cells that are no longer functional in the same way they were in the trait's ancestor. They helped to explain adaptation since they validated evolution.

Explanation:

• Such a structure may develop as a result of a gene mutation that alters the proteins. Vestigial structures are created as a result of these mutant proteins.
• However, if they prove to be sufficiently useful, such structures may become more common in the population.
• For instance, snakes developed to slither because they lost their legs, with the exception of some snakes that still have their rear legs (the Boas). The appendix in humans is a prime example of a vestigial organ. This non-working organ slowly degenerates, getting smaller until it finally vanishes.
• Examples of Vestigial Organs:

1. Sinuses
2. Appendix
3. Coccyx
4. Wisdom tooth
