Both dolphins and whales still have their hip (pelvic) bones present. These bones connect and transfer the weight of the trunk to the lower limbs.

Thus, <em>the presence of the pelvic bone may indicate that whales had ancestors that walked on land</em>.

Answer:

Thus, the presence of the pelvic bone may indicate that whales had ancestors that walked on land.  

Explanation:

Evolutionism claims that whales have pelvic bones (hips) that are evolutionary remains from when their ancestors walked the earth more than 40 million years ago. The commonly accepted hypothesis considers that these bones are simply vestigial, regressing slowly over time. At the definition level, 'vestigial organs' originally referred to useless parts of the body that were left over from some evolutionary ancestor

quizlet chromosomes are composed of: please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit ans
Anna11 [10]

Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.
