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

vekshin1
Anemia is a blood disorder caused by a lack of iron and red blood cells.

Anemia impedes the production of protein hemoglobin in the body because of the absence or lack of the mineral iron in the blood. Iron is needed to produce the protein hemoglobin which in turn helps the red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs and transport it all throughout the body.

The picture represents gas exchange in the alveoli. Observe what is happening at location X.
aivan3 [116]

A

CO₂ is the waste product of respiration of cells. Oxygen, on the other hand, is required in cellular respiration. Therefore at the alveolar in the lungs of an organism, CO₂ will be expelled while O₂ will be taken in.

Explanation:

This occurs passively due to the diffusion gradient, CO₂ usually has a higher concentration in the blood and lower concentration in alveoli hence this gas diffuses from the bloodstream into the lungs. On the other hand, oxygen is higher in concentration in the alveoli than in the blood capillaries hence difuses into the blood and taken to the cell for respiration. The CO₂ in the lungs is then expelled through exhalation of the lungs.
