Modern cetaceans, the taxonomic group that includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises, evolved from land mammals. However, it has

only been within the past few decades that transitional fossils have been found that have shed light on cetacean hindlimb reduction. DNA data suggest that cetaceans are most closely related to Hippos, which are even-toed ungulates. Other even-toed ungulates include deer, pigs, camels, and cows. Which statement describes most accurately how the early cetacean,Pakicetus, fossil ankle bones shown in the figure supports the hypothesis that cetaceans are closely related to even-toed ungulates?

arsen [322]

Answer:

see in explaination

Explanation:

Density (D) is a quantity defined as mass (m) per unit volume (v): D = m ÷ v. Since these three quantities are related, you can find one of them if you know the other two. This is more helpful than it sounds because density is often a known quantity that you can look up, assuming you know the composition of the material.

Calculations are straightforward for solid objects, but things get more complicated for liquids, where density changes with temperature, and for gases, for which density is dependent on temperature and pressure.
