Use this picture to answer the following questions Evolution of the Whale Select a similarity that might lead to the conclusion that these are all related species point ) Omorphology (shape and structure ) of the skull all fossils shown have a tail structure cage , although smaller , is present in all fossils all of the above

All of the above similarities could lead to the conclusion that these are all related species. The morphological similarities in the shape and structure of the skull suggest a common ancestry and evolutionary relationship. Additionally, the presence of a tail structure in all fossils, although smaller in some, further supports the idea of a shared lineage among these species.
