The upper forelimbs of humans and bats have fairly similar skeletal structures, whereas the corresponding bones in whales have very different shapes and proportions. However, genetic data suggest that all three kinds of organisms diverged from a common ancestor at about the same time. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for these data?

Nilsson-Ehle’s cross obtained homozygous varieties of wheat that differed in color, he crossed a variety of wheat that possessed white kernels with a variety that possessed  red kernels and obtained the following results:

The following conclusions are made from the results obtained;
