primate exhibits a derived trait for an enhanced sense of smell, since this trait is not commonly observed in mammal species

Pregunta
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

Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Which feature is shared by both apes and Old World Monkeys?
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
The pelvis and gluteal muscles in apes and humans are
Respuesta
-
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.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta

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.
