Whales have pelvic (hip) bones, which are evolutionary remains from when their forefathers walked on land about 40 million years ago. Common belief has long assumed that such bones are merely vestigial, slowly withering away like human tailbones. Thus option C is correct.

<h3>What is the new research from USC and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) has to say ?</h3>

New research from USC and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) contradicts this belief, discovering that not only do those pelvic bones have a role, but their size and perhaps shape are impacted by sexual selection processes.

Therefore, small, shrunken hip bones of whale are no longer beneficial for survival and are considered vestigial. So, the best option is C among the other options available. Thus option C is correct.

You want to test whether duration of light exposure affects fish reproduction. What would be your control group and experimental
Triss [41]

Answer and Explanation:

During an experiment, data from an experimental group are compared with the data of a control group. These two sets are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals. This variable keeps constant in the control group.

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups.

In the control group, the variable measured keeps constant, not influencing the results. This isolates the effect of the independent variable on the experiment and helps to find alternative explanations to the different results.

In the exposed example:

  • Control group: Certain amounts of fishes exposed to a normal number of light hours per day. For example, if under natural conditions in its original environment the species is exposed to 12 hour light, then the control group should be exposed constantly to 12 hours light a day to maintain its normal reproductive levels.
  • Experimental group: Certain amounts of fishes, equal to the control group, exposed to a different number of light hours per day. For example, there might be 5 experimental groups: one of them exposed to 4 hours light, a second group exposed to 8 hours light, the third group exposed to 12 hours light (The same as the control group), the fourth group exposed to 16 hours light, and the fifth group exposed to 20 hours light.

Except for light, the rest of the variables should be the same for all the groups.
