Frage 4
Frage
In class, your professor shows you an MRI scan of a primate brain. The professor points out the relatively large size of the olfactory bulb beneath the frontal lobe. This suggests to you that this
Antworten
-
primate exhibits a derived trait for an enhanced sense of smell, since this trait is not commonly observed in mammal species
-
is a species of anthropoid because it has an increased reliance on vision.

primate must be a species of Strepsirhini, as that suborder of primates relies heavily on the sense of smell for many aspects of daily life.

species is nocturnal.

are referred to as “cheek pouch” monkeys.
Frage 8
Frage
While at the zoo you see an exhibit with a small group of primates and notice they have wet, snout-like noses. This indicates a species of
Antworten

prosimian, because they retain the rhinarium not found in other mammal species.
-
anthropoid primate, because they retain the rhinarium commonly found in other mammal species.
-
platyrrhine primate, because their nostrils do not point downward.

Antworten
-
eating a wide variety of foods.
-
lack of diversity of diets over time.

diets composed of a variety of red meats.

an opposable thumb and often an opposable big toe
-
dermal ridges and flat nails on fingertips
-
rigidly connected, identical vertebrae in the backbone
Frage 12

Frage 16
Frage
The pelvis and gluteal muscles in apes and humans are
Antworten
-
almost identical, even though the two groups of primates locomote in entirely different ways.
-
different in their shape and size so that the difference between quadrupedal and bipedal locomotion can be distinguished.
-
almost identical, since the two types of primates both move around quadrupedally and bipedally, as needed.
-
the same except for the size of the gluteal maximus, which is largest in the nonhuman ape.

Antworten
-
results in extended periods of nursing and development to accommodate increasing behavioral complexity.
-
results in shorter developmental periods to accommodate the necessary energy expenditures of larger brain size.
-
demonstrates the importance of intelligence in primate evolution.
-
demonstrates the importance of intelligence in primate evolution AND results in extended periods of nursing and development to accommodate increasing behavioral complexity.
