Bile

Based on the above symptoms, it can be inferred that Gloria lacks bile. Pain in the upper right portion of the abdomen usually corresponds to problems with the liver. The liver produces bile (also known as gall), which is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid that helps most vertebrates with digestion. It increases the absorption of fats and fat-soluble substances such as vitamins A,D,E, and K. It is also necessary for the excretion of bilirubin, which is a byproduct when red blood cells are recycled by the liver. 

Bile deficiency can cause the fats in the food to be undigested and these fats end up excreted as part of feces. It can also lead to vitamin deficiency and a gradual build-up of toxins in the liver.

allsm [11]

Answer:

The correct option is <u><em>A. they evolved from land mammals.</em></u>

Explanation:

The process of evolution explains how closely one organism is to another based on their common ancestors. Scientists believe that those organisms which show many similarities in their structures or functions might have evolved from a common ancestor in the past.

As in the above-mentioned question, scientists have observed that cetaceans lack gills and breath air, this is a property of land mammals. The cetaceans have fin bones which are similar to the limb bones. As limb bones are present in land mammals, hence they cetaceans and land mammals might have common ancestors in the past.
