What are the structural adaptation of whales and dolphins (compare them please)

Whales and dolphins are mammals and have lungs instead of gills for breathing. They have blowholes at the tops of their heads that function like nostrils; they need to put their heads above water every so often to breathe. Both dolphins and whales have hair instead of scales, another quality that is specific to mammals. The animals have live births instead of laying eggs, and baby dolphins and whales nurse from their mothers. Whale and dolphin births take place near the surface of the water, so the young animals can easily take their first breath.

Both whales and dolphins rely on the sounds they make for survival, even though the sounds are utilized differently by each animal. For instance, whales make high-pitched groans and whistles to communicate with one another to warn against danger or navigate during migration

COMPARISON AND CONTRAST OF WHALES AND DOLPHINS

Both dolphins and whales belong to the cetacean family and are marine animals that reside in the ocean. Some scientists even assert that dolphins are a type of whale, as the two animals have a number of shared characteristics. However, there are distinct differences between whales and dolphins as well that will teach you more about the physical appearance of these marine creatures and how they survive in their environment.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
