The fossil record shows that the forelimbs of cats, dolphins, and bats have the same skeletal elements. These skeletal elements have evolved into different shapes and sizes based on their function. For example, the flipper of a dolphin is adapted for swimming and the wing of a bat is adapted for flying.

What do the similarities between the skeletal structures of these three species most likely indicate about their evolutionary history?

Respuesta :

These three species are distantly related and share a common ancestor.

Answer:

These three species has common ancestor and exhibit divergent evolution.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution refers to the process of evolution of organisms in different directions from a common ancestor. Cats, dolphin and bats have common skeletal elements that perform different functions to make them batter adapted to their habitat. It indicates that they share a common ancestor and have evolved in different directions to make themselves better adapted.
