the course of evolution whales and sharks optimized their movements by forming a tail fluke (or tail fin) to propel the animal forward. But the direction of the propelling movements did not matter: a whale’s fluke moves vertically, and a shark’s fin moves horizontally. Either way the goal to propel the animal forward is achieved. (A) To which aspect of optimal feedback control is that related? B) Please give an example of how this can be shown experimentally and elaborate.

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
