Question

whales and their early relatives. for example, a collection of fossil bones collected by indian researcher ranga rao provided important information to help shed light on whale relationships. match each of the six types of evolutionary evidence outlined in the book to the specific examples of evidence for the evolutionary relationships among aquatic mammals. drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right. dolphin embryos show early development of hind limb buds. toothed whales and baleen whales share a mutation in the tas1r2 gene, losing their sweet taste perception. hippos, the closest living whale relatives, have a functioning tas1r2 gene. common patterns of embryo development direct observation of evolution through artificial selection shared characteristics among living organisms biogeographic evidence similarities and differences in dna fossil evidence humans choose small, nonaggressive porpoises for captive breeding, and captive porpoises are smaller and friendlier than wild populations. ear bones of extinct indohyus resemble those of early and modern whales. fossils of early whales such as pakicetus, which lived in rivers and lakes, have limited distribution, while fossils of ocean - dwelling

Explanation:

1. Dolphin embryos - common patterns of embryo development.
2. Whale gene - similarities and differences in DNA.
3. Porpoise breeding - direct observation of evolution through artificial selection.
4. Indohyus ear bones - fossil evidence.
5. Early whale fossils - biogeographic evidence.

Answer:

1. common patterns of embryo development
2. similarities and differences in DNA
3. direct observation of evolution through artificial selection
4. fossil evidence
5. biogeographic evidence
