0:00 Hello there, students.
00:01 Today we're going to be answering this question, where they want to know, based off of the examination of the skeleton of whales, shows bones similar to human pelfic griddle in whales, these bones would be considered what? a fisticle structure and anachromachronisms or analogous structures or heterologous structures.
00:40 Well, looking at that, when they ever showed this diagram or that example, this would be more of an example of a physical structure or a yeah, that's the answer...
