Question
Wisdom Teeth: Possible function?
You have now studied three different types of anatomical structures: • Homologous structures show individual variations on a common anatomical theme. These are seen in organisms that are closely related. 1. Give an example of a homologous structure from this activity: 48 • Analogous structures have very different anatomies but similar functions. These are seen in organisms that are not necessarily closely related, but live in similar environments and have similar adaptations. 2. Give an example of an analogous structure from this activity: 49 • Vestigial structures are anatomical remnants that were important in the organism's ancestors, but are no longer used in the same way. 3. Give an example of a vestigial structure from this activity: 4. Below are some vestigial structures found in humans. For each, hypothesize what its function may have been. Structure Possible function? 50 Wisdom teeth Appendix 51 Muscles for moving the ear 52 Body hair 53 54 Little toe 55 Tailbone 56. How are vestigial structures an example of evidence of evolution?
