Having 1 blowhole allows them to hear better, see better, and swim faster, whereas baleen whales have adapted to their breathing abilities, them being filter-feeders.

Yes. The woman can be heterogeneous non-blue. That means she carries a blue eyed gene and a non-blue eyed gene. The blue eyed is normally recessive so he carries both blue eye genes and doesn't carry a non-blue gene.If two blue eyed parents have a child then the child will be blue eyed.
How big was the world's largest butt?
There is no record kept, but several humans who weighed over 800 pounds (360 kg) would likely have had the largest at some point. The largest posteriors in the world belong to non-humans, the blue whales.
What scientist do in antarctica if they are experimenting killer whales?
I think you mean "if they are experimenting onkiller whales". If so, then PeTA will probably be on their tails pretty soon. Now if the scientists were experimenting killer whales, I assume they would do things that experimenting non-killer whales would do, just more lethally.
