Answer:

Part a:

Whales and sharks share a common ancestor for superficial characteristics

Part b:

The vestigial pelvic bone of whales and dolphins indicates that they descended from an ancestor that lived on land.

Explanation:

Part a:

Whales and sharks possess similar body shapes and fin positions not because of descent from a common ancestor but due to their shared aquatic habitat. Whales share more characteristics with humans than with sharks. This indicates close phylogenetic ties (ancestral similarities) between humans and whales whereas sharks and whales have evolved independently. If they shared a common ancestor, they would have similar anatomical characters as well.

Part b:

Vestigial Structure:

A vestigial structure is an anatomical characteristic that is believed to have served a specific function for an organism in the past but as the organism evolved, the structure lost its function.

Pelvic bones are required by animals to move their lower limbs to be able to walk on land.  Whales possess vestigial pelvic bones because they have evolved from an ancestor that lived on land.

Dinosaurs are the extinct organisms that belong to the class reptilia. Dinosaurs are the most advanced and bulkier reptiles at the history time and they were overspecialized in their environment.

The dinosaurs extinct rapidly due to the change in the external conditions and the volcanic eruptions that occur at the dinosaurs time. The recent searcher claims that asteroid impact and massive volcanic eruption leads to the dinosaur extinction.

Double fertilization results in the formation of select one:
wariber [46]
Double fertilization results in the formation of  one diploid embryo and a triploid endosperm. Double fertilization is characterized by the formation of two embryos; the embryo proper which is diploid and the fusion product of the central cell with one male gamete which is triploid. This secondary triploid zygote develops into the endosperm.
