Question

Vestigial organ present in Greenland Whale is

• A. Fore limbs
• B. Pelvic girdle
• C. Hind limbs
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

Whales have a number of vestigial structures that would have been fully functional in their land-living ancestors, including the pelvic girdle, the hind limbs and the finger muscles. The forelimbs of whales, which are used for steering, are stiff and paddle like and the muscles of the fingers, largely non-contractile and act more in the fashion of ligaments.

So, the correct answer is " Both pelvic girdle and Hind limbs".
