Orcas (also known as "killer whales") hunt bowhead whales. A biologist wants to know how fast bowhead whales can swim when chased by orcas. She observes female whales being chased by orcas and measures the maximum speed these whales can swim. What will she most likely observe? Why? a. All of the whales swim the same speed because they are the same species. b. There will be notable differences among the whales because each whale has had different amounts of nutrition and exercise during its life. c. There will be notable differences among the whales because each whale has different genes. d. Both "b" and "c". e. It is impossible to predict given the information provided.
