Question

What evidence is there that the bat and dolphin share a common ancestor? Explain how the two species could be so different.​

Answer 1

I hope the below helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientists have noticed similarities between a bat's wings and a dolphin's flippers.

Fossil records also show that the 2 animals have the same/similar 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.

This evidence shows that the 2 species are distantly related and share a common ancestor.
