d. as cetaceans returned to the water secondarily, they evolved a streamlined
fishlike body because this body form is well adapted to an aquatic environment

Dolphins have the same set of genes to regulate hind limbs that land mammals
have why don't dolphins grow hind limbs?
a. dolphins do grow hindlimbs but other add-on genes turn them into flippers
b. dolphins do not grow hindlimbs because they are not needed in an aquatic
environment
c. dolphin embryos do grow hindlimb buds, but their development is terminate
very early because of a mutation in a regulatory gene
d. the regulatory genes for hind limb development in dolphins have been
completely deactivated
