No. DNA is not a vestigial structure as it has not ceased to function
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
No, the claws of a lion are not vestigial.
Vestigial structure is used in application to structures that are determined genetically but do not have the ancestral function.
The term is "vestigial structure." These structures are remnants from an organism's evolutionary history and no longer serve a function in the current organism. Examples include the human appendix or tailbone.
A vestigial structure is a structure that an organism still has but no longer serves any real definite purpose. In this case, the whiskers on a cat serve a vital purpose, so they are not vestigial structures.
