Question

paleontologist and embryologist j. g. m. “hans” thewissen noticed that the ear bone of indohyus (a deer - like mammal) that had broken off in his lab was razor thin on one side and very thick on the other, making it unlike the ear bone of any other land mammal. ultimately, this discovery shed light on the evolutionary history of whales. which statements about whales and indohyus are correct? correct answer(s) whales evolved from indohyus. modern whales have a completely different genome in comparison to indohyus. indohyus has some characteristics in common with modern whales. a whale embryo in early stages of development shares features with indohyus development. indohyus shares an ancestor with modern whales. indohyus is a very early whale. incorrect answer(s)

Explanation:

Indohyus and whales share an ancestor. Similarities in ear - bone and embryonic development suggest relatedness.

Answer:

Indohyus has some characteristics in common with modern whales.
A whale embryo in early stages of development shares features with Indohyus development.
Indohyus shares an ancestor with modern whales.
