Respuesta
  • 2/1/2/3
  • 2/1/3/3.
  • 2/2/2/3.
  • 2/2/3/3.

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Relative to body size, primate brain size is
Respuesta
  • proportional to human brain size
  • more or less the same in large and small primates.
  • smaller than in other large mammals.
  • larger among great apes than among other primates.

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
The Linnaean suborder prosimians includes
Respuesta
  • only nocturnal species
  • only diurnal species.
  • diurnal and nocturnal galagos.
  • diurnal and nocturnal lemurs.

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
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
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
The rhinarium is present in
Respuesta
  • baboons.
  • gorillas.
  • ring-tail lemurs.
  • howler monkeys.

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
The Y-5 molar morphology is present in
Respuesta
  • colobus monkeys.
  • chimpanzees.
  • lemurs.
  • howler monkeys.

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Colobine primates
Respuesta
  • are mostly frugivorous.
  • are usually terrestrial.
  • have specialized digestive anatomy for eating leaves.
  • are referred to as “cheek pouch” monkeys.

Pregunta 8

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
Respuesta
  • 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.
  • strepsirhine, because they retain a rhinarium.

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Anthropoids include
Respuesta
  • monkeys and apes, including humans.
  • African and Asian apes only.
  • tarsiers, monkeys, and apes only.
  • lemurs, lorises, galagos, and tarsiers.

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Dietary plasticity in primates refers to
Respuesta
  • eating a wide variety of foods.
  • lack of diversity of diets over time.
  • diets composed of a variety of red meats.
  • diets composed of a variety of fruits.

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Which is not an arboreal adaptation shared by most primates?
Respuesta
  • mobile joints connecting bones of the shoulders, limbs, hands, and feet
  • an opposable thumb and often an opposable big toe
  • dermal ridges and flat nails on fingertips
  • rigidly connected, identical vertebrae in the backbone

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
which evolutionary adaptation provides primates with depth perception?
Respuesta
  • forward-facing eyes
  • color vision
  • loss of the rhinarium
  • smaller olfactory bulb

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
__________________ retain more primitive characteristics than other primates, such as a partially enclosed eye orbit
Respuesta
  • Strepsirhines
  • Haplorhines
  • Platyrrhines
  • Catarrhines

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
________________ have a dental formula of 2/1/2/3 and hook-shaped nostrils
Respuesta
  • Atelids
  • Catarrhines
  • Cebids
  • Platyrrhines

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
Which feature is shared by both apes and Old World Monkeys?
Respuesta
  • long tail
  • lower molar morphology
  • canine-premolar honing complex
  • large bodies and brains

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
Among all primates, humans have the
Respuesta
  • largest body relative to other animals.
  • greatest level of biological adaptability.
  • largest body size.
  • largest brain relative to body size.

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
The increased brain size observed in the order Primates
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
Anthropoids include
Respuesta
  • monkeys and apes, including humans.
  • African and Asian apes only.
  • tarsiers, monkeys, and apes only.
  • lemurs, lorises, galagos, and tarsiers.

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
Modern primates are characterized by arboreal adaptations, including
Respuesta
  • opposable thumbs.
  • a precision grip.
  • short digits.
  • an expanded reliance on sense of smell.

Pregunta 21

Pregunta
Preadaptation is
Respuesta
  • the series of apparent adaptations that are never actually used.
  • the use of an anatomical feature in a way unrelated to the feature’s original function.
  • an anatomical feature used in the manner for which it was originally selected.
  • a phenomenon that occurs before natural selection can occur.

Pregunta 22

Pregunta
Primate females
Respuesta

  • give birth to twins regularly.

Pregunta 23

Pregunta
Which of the following lists is a good characterization of primates?
Respuesta
  • Primates have impressive, built-in behaviors but are poor learners and require a very specific diet to survive.
  • Primates have a shorter life span than other mammals of their size, are intelligent, and almost all eat the same diet.
  • Primates are intelligent, are long lived, have diverse diets, and exhibit complex social behavior.
  • Primates are intelligent, are long lived, have very narrow dietary requirements, and exhibit diverse social behaviors.
